[Bug][cyber] False positive halts finishing an authorized internal security assessment report (req_011CcGw3eMuuNeFTsvq3yemp)

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

Why this is a false positive

This safety filter blocked the completion of a routine internal security assessment report — a defensive deliverable documenting an authorized, in-scope engagement against the requester's own infrastructure. The flag triggered repeatedly only at the final write-up stage of a long analysis session, with no offensive payloads, exploitation instructions, or third-party targeting involved; the content was descriptive documentation of findings for a sanctioned engagement. Notably, the block was sensitive to ordinary professional terminology (standard reconnaissance and assessment vocabulary), causing the model to stall on benign report-writing rather than any genuinely harmful request.
