Detects suspicious child processes spawned by WmiPrvSE.exe, which is often abused by adversaries for execution and defense evasion. The rule specifically looks for common Living Off The Land Binaries (LOLBINs) and scripting interpreters being launched by WmiPrvSE, including certutil, cscript, mshta, msiexec, regsvr32, rundll32, verclsid, wscript, and cmd.exe with specific command-line arguments related to scripting or LOLBINs.
