[Bug][aup] Defensive CVE and attack-surface audit of own infrastructure under active attack blocked (req_011CbwsNoKuZp1b6VgBHfbAH)

Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The request was a defensive security task: a routine audit of the requester's own infrastructure to inventory components with known CVEs and produce a remediation checklist for assets they own and operate. No exploit code, attack tooling, or targeting of third-party systems was requested—the goal was identifying and closing vulnerabilities on the requester's own attack surface. Blocking standard defensive vulnerability assessment under the violative-cyber-content policy is a false positive, since hardening one's own systems is a core legitimate use case.
