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

Why this is a false positive

The flagged message was a routine request to review the source code of a well-known open-source remote-desktop application — a standard, legitimate software-engineering task with no offensive or malicious intent. Reading and auditing publicly available code is core development and security-review work, not a cyber-attack use case, so the cybersecurity safety filter triggered on the mere presence of a security-adjacent keyword rather than any actual harmful request. This is a false positive that blocks ordinary code-review activity and should be scoped more narrowly.
