[Bug][cyber] Safety filter blocked triaging a suspected compromise on my own machine mid-investigation (req_011CcPJArTbepdvraQ4bBuAr)
Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general
Why this is a false positive
The flagged message contains no cybersecurity request at all—it consists of user frustration and accidental keyboard input (random characters and a malformed shell command), with no exploit, payload, or attack technique present. The classifier appears to have triggered on an earlier benign mention of a host being "compromised" in the colloquial troubleshooting sense, not on any request for offensive capability. The work in scope is general-purpose and the blocked turn requests nothing security-related, making this a clear false positive that interrupts an ordinary session.
A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
