MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

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.
T1505 Server Software Component Persistence
Adversaries may abuse legitimate extensible development features of servers to establish persistent access to systems.
T1213.006 Databases Collection
Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in public-facing CMS (/fladmin/cat_dodel.php) enables exploitation of public-facing application (T1190), abuse of server software component (T1505 per advisory), and collection of data from databases via arbitrary SQL queries (T1213.006).
