Why these techniques?

Path traversal (CWE-22) via \input{} in LaTeX handler enables remote arbitrary local file read (confidentiality impact), facilitating T1006 (Direct Volume Access) as mapped by VulDB, T1005 (Data from Local System) for collection, and T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) for remote exploitation.
