[Bug][cyber] Threat-hunt review of RDP/VPN auth logs for incident response wrongly blocked as offensive (req_011CcG5AgqcSwY51VatAhbQ3)
Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general
Why this is a false positive
The safety classifier flagged a routine, authorized incident-response investigation as a malicious cybersecurity request. The work in scope is defensive forensics on systems the operator owns and administers—reviewing authentication and session logs, correlating a suspicious VPN login, documenting findings in an internal report, and rotating compromised credentials—all standard blue-team activity rather than offensive tooling or unauthorized access. The block prevents continuation of an active investigation that protects the operator's own infrastructure, which is a clear false positive on legitimate, in-scope defensive work.
