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?

Stored XSS (CWE-79) in the authenticated web interface of a device allows script injection via project upload and execution in other users' sessions, directly enabling exploitation of a public-facing application.
