What it detects

This rule flags instances where SystemResetPlatform.exe loads RjvPlatform.dll from the C:\$SysReset\Framework\Stack\RjvPlatform.dll path. Attackers may leverage this pattern as a DLL side-loading technique when the expected $SysReset directory is not normally created. The detection relies on Windows DLL image load telemetry that records the loading process path and the fully qualified DLL path.
