Windows Escalate UAC Protection Bypass (Via dot net profiler)

Microsoft Windows allows for the automatic loading of a profiling COM object during
the launch of a CLR process based on certain environment variables ostensibly to
monitor execution. In this case, we abuse the profiler by pointing to a payload DLL
that will be launched as the profiling thread. This thread will run at the permission
level of the calling process, so an auto-elevating process will launch the DLL with
elevated permissions. In this case, we use gpedit.msc as the auto-elevated CLR
process, but others would work, too.
