Why these techniques?

PHP object injection (deserialization) in an internet-facing WordPress plugin directly enables remote exploitation of a public-facing web application (T1190) by low-privileged authenticated users, resulting in arbitrary code execution or full control and therefore privilege escalation (T1068).
