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

Identifies the creation of the process from the parent where the call stack exhibits suspicious memory properties. The pattern is typical of stomped module techniques such as DLL-hollowing or other forms of in-memory code injection where an attacker overwrites or maps shellcode into legitimate system modules to hide malicious payloads.
