ChronicleMap is accessing OS folders & files

61 Views Asked by At

While creating a ChronicleMap using the build, it is trying to access(read/write) the following OS(Mac) folders.

  1. Read on "/usr/lib" & "/lib"
  2. Read & Write on "/Users/userx/Library/Caches/JNA/temp"

I am trying to understand the reason on why these folder access are happening so that I can justify to our security team

This has nothing to do with Chronicle Map but rather with JNA library we use for native access. /usr/lib contains native libraries (like libc), and $HOME/Library/Caches/JNA/temp is used by JNA to store its caches (see here for the code, and some context can be found here)
