T1027.017 SVG Smuggling Stealth
Adversaries may smuggle data and files past content filters by hiding malicious payloads inside of seemingly benign SVG files.
T1098 Account Manipulation Persistence
Adversaries may manipulate accounts to maintain and/or elevate access to victim systems.
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.
Why these techniques?

XSS via malicious SVG upload in admin media manager enables SVG Smuggling (T1027.017), exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190), and account manipulation such as modifying admin credentials (T1098) when previewed in admin browser context.
