Several script samples from Malwarebazaar are not detected by MD; when uploaded to VT, they are flagged by their MD database!

This discrepancy could be due to the difference in update times between your local Microsoft Defender (MD) and VirusTotal's (VT) MD database. Ensure your MD is up-to-date. If the issue persists, consider submitting the samples to Microsoft for analysis.

If your Microsoft Defender is up-to-date and still not detecting the scripts, it's recommended to submit the samples to Microsoft for further investigation. This could potentially improve the detection algorithms.
It's already detected by their databse on VirusTotal!

That's unusual. It might be a synchronization issue between your local Microsoft Defender and the database used by VirusTotal. Try to manually update your Microsoft Defender definitions or reinstall the software. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft Support.
