STProcessMonitor.sys

Safetica STProcessMonitor / ProcessMonitorDriver.sys exposes process-termination functionality through vulnerable IOCTL paths documented in public BYOVD research. The tracked samples include the 11.26.18.0 build and the legacy 11.11.4.0 build; public research notes that affected versions can be abused to terminate endpoint security processes from kernel context.
