[Bug][cyber] Safety block stopped routine retrieval of a rotated server admin password during access troublesh (req_011CcCLBiJvdBLHMEJvGZu8n)

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

Why this is a false positive

This request involved routine administration of self-owned network hardware—rotating a device credential stored in an internal database and diagnosing why a management web UI's connect button and an agent interface were not functioning correctly. The model's safety layer flagged the message as a cybersecurity threat, but no offensive, unauthorized-access, or exploit activity was present; the task is ordinary authorized infrastructure maintenance on the operator's own systems. The block prevents legitimate troubleshooting and appears to be triggered by surface keywords (e.g., credential rotation, database lookup) rather than any actual malicious intent or content.
