    @Irin Sultana Thank you for reaching out to us, the above mentioned command is a detection test on a device recently onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

    Based on the PowerShell command you provided, the invoice.exe file is being downloaded from the URL http://127.0.0.1/1.exe and saved to the local directory C:\test-MDATP-test\. The command then starts the invoice.exe process.

    Without more information about the source of the PowerShell command or the context in which it is being used, it is difficult to determine the purpose of the invoice.exe file. It is possible that the file is a legitimate application or tool that is being used for a specific purpose, or it could be a malicious file that is being used for malicious purposes.
