+name: UAC bypass via Program Compatibility Assistant scheduled task hijack
+id: 73de8712-f3a7-483e-b15f-6cc29c415511
+version: 1.0.0
+description: |
+  Detects attempts to bypass User Account Control (UAC) by abusing the
+  Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA) scheduled task to achieve unauthorized
+  privilege escalation. Adversaries can leverage a trusted Windows component and
+  its associated task execution context to spawn elevated processes without triggering
+  standard UAC consent prompts.
