> via the exploited code

Their scanner doesn't show any exploitation happening, and they don't say that it does.

I admit that I am reading into the line "abnormal memory allocation and execution" and thinking it's intentional.

You are right that they don't seem to know what code was being executed. Just that some code (be it real code or random garbage) was injected and executed.

It's intentional; it's not "exploitation". It's really doing privilege deescalation of the shellcode.

They know the code it's running for the most part, it's the CreatProcessW stuff they talk about.
