Detects sentinelmemoryscanner.exe being executed from user-writable paths (e.g., AppData, ProgramData, Temp) instead of its legitimate, protected installation directory. This behavior can indicate an attempt to abuse the legitimate SentinelOne executable for malicious purposes, such as DLL sideloading or evasion.
