Can permission elevation programs memory be read by keyloggers?

[imported_Mills]

If I ran a keylogger as a limited user, then elevated to administrator with Run As or runas.exe, is my administrator account compromised as well?

I don't really want to install one to find out, does anyone know for certain?

Thanks,

No, user processes can't debug, trace, etc higher priviledged or processes created by another user.

But technically when I execute runas.exe it is run under my credentials until elevation occurs, no? Therefore other processes running with my privileges should be able to access its memory until they elevate. But it doesn't elevate until it has a password..

That's what has me confused.

Thanks,
