T1003.008 /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to dump the contents of <code>/etc/passwd</code> and <code>/etc/shadow</code> to enable offline password cracking.

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.

Why these techniques?

Path traversal in Mage AI's Git Content endpoint (T1190: Exploit Public-Facing Application) enables arbitrary file reads, facilitating file and directory discovery (T1083), data collection from local system (T1005), and OS credential dumping from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (T1003.008).
