T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1539 Steal Web Session Cookie Credential Access
An adversary may steal web application or service session cookies and use them to gain access to web applications or Internet services as an authenticated user without needing credentials.
Why these techniques?

The stored XSS vulnerability enables exploitation of a public-facing web application (T1190). It facilitates arbitrary JavaScript execution in victims' browsers (e.g., admins viewing the model management page), commonly used to steal web session cookies (T1539).
