•updated Dec 1, 2024•0•12

Detects a specific User Account Control (UAC) bypass technique known as "IDiagnosticProfileUAC". This technique involves a process with high or system integrity level launching 'DllHost.exe' with a specific command-line argument containing '{12C21EA7-2EB8-4B55-9249-AC243DA8C666}'. This behavior is indicative of an attempt to elevate privileges by bypassing UAC.
