[Bug][cyber] Safety block prevented OSINT/Shodan exposure check of own infra during internal vendor connector (req_011CcGvGgE2gecADLunFUMgV)

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

Why this is a false positive

The flagged message was part of an authorized defensive-hardening engagement on infrastructure the operator owns and administers, focused on auditing a third-party data connector, mapping its data flow, and assessing the operator's own external exposure. The request involved no offensive technique, exploit development, or targeting of systems outside the operator's control — it was standard blue-team review work. The block appears to have triggered on cybersecurity vocabulary alone, without distinguishing legitimate defensive auditing from disallowed use, producing a false positive that halts in-scope work.
