shellcode avoids LoadLibrary hooks by Trellix/McAfee

Mechanism

The exploit injects shellcode into SCPBypass.exe, which then writes a bypass command to the named pipe \\.\pipe\MCPTrayPipe0. The pipe has a NULL DACL (RW Everyone), but the service's WGUARDNT module checks the writer's executable path. Injection bypasses this check by using a legitimate process. The shellcode avoids LoadLibrary hooks by Trellix/McAfee.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for suspicious process injections into SCPBypass.exe, especially those writing to \\.\pipe\MCPTrayPipe0. Enable logging of named pipe connections and process creation events. Apply vendor patches when available.
