New Process Created Via Taskmgr.EXE
This rule detects the creation of new processes where the parent process is `taskmgr.exe`. This activity could indicate an attempt to bypass User Account Control (UAC) by leveraging the Windows Task Manager, which is often auto-elevated. The rule filters out common legitimate processes that `taskmgr.exe` might launch, such as `mmc.exe`, `resmon.exe`, and `Taskmgr.exe` itself, to reduce false positives.
