[Bug][aup] Defensive firewall lockdown rules (scoped DNS/RDP allows + deny-rest) wrongly blocked on creation (req_011CcG49ra78mkGipDw3uVuS)
Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): defensive-hardening
Why this is a false positive
The flagged session is routine defensive network hardening: authoring source-IP-scoped firewall rules that restrict specific client subnets to only the DNS and RDP services they require, plus enabling logging on the deny rules for auditability — all on infrastructure the operator administers. There is no attack, exploitation, or unauthorized-access activity in the request; the work is explicitly reducing access and tightening a default-allow posture, which is the opposite of the abuse the Usage Policy targets. The block appears to be triggered by surface vocabulary ("lockdown," "deny," "block rules," source IPs) rather than the actual intent, producing a false positive on standard security-administration work.
A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
