Debug

Known issues

breakingmaec 4.x uses MAEC v4.1 schema; incompatible with MAEC v3.x data. Cannot load older MAEC documents without conversion.

fix

Convert MAEC 3.x documents to 4.1 format using provided migration scripts or manually update XML.

affects: >=4.0.0

deprecatedThe 'maec.bindings' module is deprecated. Direct binding manipulation is discouraged; use the high-level API instead.

fix

Replace binding code with API calls: e.g., use Package() instead of binding.PackageType().

affects: >=4.1.0

gotchaMissing CybOX dependency: maec requires cybox library. Installation via pip does not automatically install cybox on all systems.

fix

Run: pip install cybox

affects: all

gotchaLXML version compatibility: maec 4.1.0.17 may fail with lxml >= 5.0 due to API changes. Pin lxml<5.0 if errors occur.

fix

pip install 'lxml<5.0'

affects: 4.1.0.17
