UAC Bypass via Sdclt.exe Registry Key Manipulation
This rule detects User Account Control (UAC) bypass attempts by monitoring specific registry key modifications related to `sdclt.exe`. Attackers can manipulate these registry keys to hijack the execution flow of `sdclt.exe`, a legitimate Windows utility, to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges without triggering a UAC prompt. The rule specifically looks for modifications to `Software\Classes\exefile\shell\runas\command\isolatedCommand` or `Software\Classes\Folder\shell\open\command\SymbolicLinkValue` with a specific pattern indicating a UAC bypass technique.
