MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1189 Drive-by Compromise Initial Access
Adversaries may gain access to a system through a user visiting a website over the normal course of browsing.
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.
T1059.007 JavaScript Execution
Adversaries may abuse various implementations of JavaScript for execution.
Why these techniques?

The stored XSS vulnerability in RWS MultiTrans allows attackers to inject crafted payloads that execute arbitrary JavaScript or HTML in victims' browsers, facilitating exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190), drive-by compromise via compromised legitimate sites (T1189), and JavaScript command execution (T1059.007).
