T1083 File and Directory Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may enumerate files and directories or may search in specific locations of a host or network share for certain information within a file system.

Why these techniques?

T1190 for exploiting public-facing WordPress application via unauthenticated LFI; T1005 and T1083 as LFI directly enables reading/discovering local files including sensitive configs.
