T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

T1190 directly matches exploitation of a public-facing WordPress theme vulnerability; T1005 is facilitated by Local File Inclusion allowing unauthorized access to local system files.
