What it detects

This rule identifies cases where SystemResetPlatform.exe loads RjvPlatform.dll from a path that does not start with the expected default directory. DLL sideloading is a common technique for persistence and stealth because it relies on a trusted executable to load attacker-controlled binaries. The detection relies on Windows image load telemetry that provides the loaded DLL path and the parent process image path.
