MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
Why these techniques?

Heap-use-after-free in GPAC MP4Box's XMT parser enables arbitrary code execution via exploitation of a client application when processing malicious XMT files.
