MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1213.006 Databases Collection
Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.
attack.mitre.org →
T1485 Data Destruction Impact
Adversaries may destroy data and files on specific systems or in large numbers on a network to interrupt availability to systems, services, and network resources.
attack.mitre.org →
T1565.001 Stored Data Manipulation Impact
Adversaries may insert, delete, or manipulate data at rest in order to influence external outcomes or hide activity, thus threatening the integrity of the data.
attack.mitre.org →
T1499.003 Application Exhaustion Flood Impact
Adversaries may target resource intensive features of applications to cause a denial of service (DoS), denying availability to those applications.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

Unrestricted SQL console in admin UI enables arbitrary SQL queries for database data collection (T1213.006), manipulation via UPDATE (T1565.001), destruction via DELETE/DROP (T1485), and DoS via expensive queries exhausting application resources (T1499.003).
