Description

Expected Behavior

Expanded sub techniques in SVG

Actual Behavior

SVG is not showing sub techniques, while the attack navigator does

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. create a json with:
    layout: "expandedSubtechniques": "all"
    techniques "showSubtechniques": True
    "selectSubtechniquesWithParent": True
  2. Validate that the json contains:
    layout: "expandedSubtechniques": "all"
    techniques: "showSubtechniques": true
    "selectSubtechniquesWithParent": true
  3. Validate that the json works in attack explorer
  4. Import: from mitreattack.navlayers.exporters.to_svg import ToSvg, SVGConfig
  5. svgconf =SVGConfig(width=118.9, height=84.1, unit="cm", showHeader=False, fontSize=12, showSubtechniques="all")
  6. export with
    exporter = ToSvg(domain='enterprise', source='local', resource=resource_path, config=svgconf)
    exporter.to_svg(layerInit=layer, filepath="Coverage.svg")

Research direction

Start in mitreattack.navlayers.exporters.to_svg, focusing on SVGConfig and ToSvg.to_svg. Reproduce the issue with showSubtechniques="all" and the supplied layer settings, then compare the generated SVG with the attack navigator output. Done means the SVG includes expanded subtechniques under the described configuration.
