MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
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.
Why these techniques?

Stored XSS enables low-privileged authenticated attackers to inject JavaScript payloads that execute when higher-privileged users (e.g., admins) view affected pages, facilitating exploitation for privilege escalation (T1068) via theft of web session cookies (T1539).
