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

SQL injection in public-facing web application (/admin/edit-artist-detail.php) enables exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190), data collection from databases via arbitrary SQL queries (T1213.006), and abuse of server software components (T1505, as noted in advisory).
