MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

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.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in public-facing web application (index.php) directly enables exploitation of public-facing application (T1190) and extraction of sensitive data from databases (T1213.006) via arbitrary query manipulation.
