Hi @ll,

Windows 8 and newer versions (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
with KB2532445 or KB3125574 installed too) don’t allow unprivileged
callers to circumvent AppLocker and SAFER rules via

LoadLibraryEx(TEXT(“<arbitrary DLL>”), NULL, LOAD_IGNORE_CODE_AUTHZ_LEVEL);

See <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684179.aspx>
and <https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2532445>
