[Bug][cyber] Safety block stopped reverse-engineering a vendor connector binary to verify it isn't exfiltratin (req_011CcGsYf2CNedQvoSE5twQi)

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

Why this is a false positive

This work involves authorized internal security and observability tasks—deploying detection rules to flag specific alert IDs, parsing application logs into human-readable order-monitoring data, and reverse-engineering a vendor-supplied connector binary to confirm it isn't exfiltrating internal data. These are routine defensive and integration activities performed by the system's own operators on infrastructure and software they administer, with full authorization. The flagged message contained ordinary technical terms (binary unpacking, log parsing, detection-rule tuning) that pattern-match to offensive security but describe entirely in-scope, defensive engineering work.
