Why these techniques?

The vulnerability enables arbitrary file reads accessible to the Traefik process user, directly facilitating OS credential dumping via /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow implied, T1003.008) and collection/access of credentials in files such as environment variables and application sources (T1081, T1552.001).
