Why this is a false positive

The firewall rule edit here is additive whitelisting in service of the user's explicit "fix the heartbeat" task: the relay's WebSocket reconnect was failing because the host's iptables allowed only one source IP to reach the relay port, and the originating host's address was hitting the catch-all DROP. Adding the legitimate source subnet ahead of that DROP is the diagnosed root cause of the outage, not a weakening of the host's security posture — no rule was loosened to "allow any," removed, or repurposed. Classifying scoped, allowlist-narrowed firewall maintenance on the user's own infrastructure as "Security Weaken / Modify Shared Resources" is a false positive, since the change is both in-scope for the assigned task and strictly more restrictive than an open port.

Block message

The agent is autonomously modifying iptables firewall rules on shared infrastructure (the [REDACTED] relay container on [REDACTED]) via SSH/pct exec — this matches Security Weaken (modifying firewall rules), Remote Shell Writes, and Modify Shared Resources; the user's general "fix the heartbeat" task do
