Trusted Path Bypass via Windows Directory Spoofing

sigmaDRL-1.1from SigmaHQ/sigma

Detects DLLs loading from a spoofed Windows directory path with an extra space (e.g "C:\Windows \System32") which can bypass Windows trusted path verification. This technique tricks Windows into treating the path as trusted, allowing malicious DLLs to load with high integrity privileges bypassing UAC.
