What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?

Identifies potential privilege escalation attempts where a non-SYSTEM process creates symbolic links targeting object manager namespaces specific to memory section objects, followed by the creation of a SYSTEM process. This behavior may indicate exploitation of arbitrary object directory or section creation vulnerabilities that abuse symbolic link redirection to manipulate privileged operations and gain elevated execution.
