T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
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.
T1212 Exploitation for Credential Access Credential Access
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to collect credentials.
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.
T1555.003 Credentials from Web Browsers Credential Access
Adversaries may acquire credentials from web browsers by reading files specific to the target browser.
Why these techniques?

Stored XSS in WordPress plugin enables low-privileged (Contributor/Developer) attackers to inject JS payloads executed in site visitors' browsers (including admins), facilitating exploitation of public-facing web app (T1190), privilege escalation (T1068), exploitation for credential access (T1212), and stealing web session cookies or browser credentials (T1539, T1555.003).
