Recently this popped up, #Bluehammer a #Windows exploit that exploits Windows Defender for a local privilege elevation
From user to system level..
It triggers a Defender scan and locks that after, so it can access a certain database that is been backed up while Defender scans to gain system level access
GitHub now gives a warning for the repo it seems:
https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/BlueHammer
Just be careful
