access denied with maven teamcity-configs:generate

When I'm trying to work on TeamCity Kotlin DSL locally, I receive the following error when attempting to run:

maven teamcity-configs:generate

Error while generating TeamCity configs:
Runtime error RootProjectId: java.security.AccessControlContext[472]: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "/Users/REDACTED_PATH/.teamcity/pluginData/_Self" "read")

I've tried creating folders and files at that location, changing permissions... Not sure what I need to do in order to test these DSL scripts locally.

I'm on macOS. I've tried from the command line and from IntelliJ IDEA. System info:
