[Bug][cyber] Safety block halted legit incident-response RDP/VPN log forensics tracing an unauthorized intrusi (req_011CcG51GkXNkgk7ChGuQwPB)

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

Why this is a false positive

The work is an authorized incident-response investigation into a suspicious remote-access session on systems the operator administers, using standard read-only forensic methods (querying Windows Security/RDS event logs over WinRM and correlating VPN authentication records) to determine whether and how an account was accessed. No exploitation, intrusion, or offensive capability is involved—this is defensive log analysis and timeline reconstruction on owned infrastructure, which is exactly the kind of routine blue-team forensics that should not trigger a cyber-misuse block. The flag appears driven by surface terms (VPN, remote authentication, foreign-IP access) rather than any actual malicious intent or out-of-scope target.
