[Bug][cyber] False positive blocks routine network admin scripting and TLS certificate automation work (req_011CcCJ547coZQf8eHXmFmJF)

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

A routine cybersecurity request was blocked by the model's safety filter despite falling squarely within legitimate, authorized scope — defensive and educational security work that the published usage policy permits. The classifier appears to be keying on surface-level topic terms rather than intent or context, flagging the subject matter itself instead of any actual harmful instruction or unauthorized target. As a result, in-policy work is being hard-blocked with no inline recourse, forcing an exemption application for access that should not have required one.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
