MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.

T1083 File and Directory Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may enumerate files and directories or may search in specific locations of a host or network share for certain information within a file system.

T1087.001 Local Account Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of local system accounts.

Why these techniques?

Path traversal vulnerability enables remote authenticated (Viewer role) users to read arbitrary files (e.g., /etc/passwd), facilitating data collection from local system, file and directory discovery, local account discovery, and access to unsecured credentials in files.
