    Detects the creation or modification of TieringEngineService.exe in the System32 directory, which is indicative of potential Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) via junction redirection, as observed in the RedSun exploit (CVE-2026-41091). The rule specifically excludes activities originating from the Windows WinSxS directory to reduce false positives from legitimate system updates.
