[Bug] Permission denied

[TiiTcHY]

Expected Behavior
I would expect to be able to import the module with no issues.

Actual Behavior
the module fails to import for the following reasons:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.stixmarx'

This is on a linux box. I have create a docket image with the following: mitreattack-python,pandas,pyattck,bs4,colour,openpyxl,stix2,taxii2-client,numpy,drawSvg,Pillow,tqdm,xlsxwriter,tabulate,stix2-elevator

When i run the python script against this docker image i get the error where it has failed to run due to permission denied.

The module is installed here "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/stixmarx/" however, looking at the script i believe its this line which is casing me an issue " Line 33: user_path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".stixmarx")" which is inside of stixmarx\fields\__init.py. This is then thinking that the user directory is root which is why the error is [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.stixmarx' as i do not have permission to write in root.

I raised the issue here MITRE BUG

Hi @TiiTcHY, have you tried running your docker image as a different user other than root?

Let me know it that won't work for you.

Hello @clenk I am unable to change the user that its being run via a SOAR platform. I'm looking to automate the tasks within the palform but unable to due to this issue with the creation of the file.

@TiiTcHY Here is a quick fix, it worked for me.
Define a HOME environment variable with value of home directory of user or path where user has write access.

This will solve the root cause, making it possible to define the directory that the files are stored in -
