Detects cross-process activity where a non-Microsoft signed process or an unsigned process attempts to inject code into high-value Windows system processes, such as lsass.exe, explorer.exe, or svchost.exe. This activity is indicative of malicious code injection or process hollowing, often used to achieve privilege escalation or persistent stealth.
