Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

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.
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?

Path traversal (CWE-22) in remote firmware directly enables arbitrary filesystem path enumeration (T1083) and is itself an instance of exploiting a public-facing application (T1190).
