UAC Bypass

Execute a binary or script as a high-integrity process without a UAC prompt.

ComputerDefaults.exe

Upon execution, ComputerDefaults.exe checks two registry values at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ms-settings\Shell\open\command; if these are set by an attacker, the set command will be executed as a high-integrity process without a UAC prompt being displayed to the user. See 'resources' for which registry keys/values to set. — MITRE: T1548.002 — Privileges: User
