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.
Why these techniques?

The vulnerability enables attackers in a Jitsi Meet session to force other clients to load GIFs from arbitrary attacker-controlled URLs via crafted chat messages, facilitating drive-by compromises (T1189) without further interaction and exploitation of a public-facing web application (T1190).
