T1069.001 Local Groups Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to find local system groups and permission settings.
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 /system/role/list endpoint enables exploitation of public-facing web application (T1190), server software component abuse via SQL manipulation (T1505), data collection from databases (T1213.006), and local permission groups discovery through role enumeration (T1069.001).
