+name: UAC bypass via rouge MMC snap-in
+id: abc02312-2f30-4f26-91ed-194b80492c03
+version: 1.0.0
+description: |
+  Detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) by executing
+  a malicious Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Abuse of MMC
+  snap-ins for UAC bypass is typically observed in post-exploitation
+  scenarios where an adversary already has code execution in a user
+  context and is attempting to escalate privileges to administrator.
