[Bug][aup] Defensive self-audit of own infrastructure for CVEs and exploitable surface wrongly blocked (req_011CbwokaTetQ23y8GiZY8Pr)

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

Why this is a false positive

This request asked for a defensive security audit of the requester's own infrastructure—enumerating components with known CVEs or exploitable conditions and compiling a prioritized remediation checklist—following an attempted intrusion against systems they own and operate. This is standard, authorized vulnerability management and attack-surface reduction, not offensive tooling: the output is a hardening worklist, with no exploit code, target reconnaissance against third parties, or evasion techniques involved. The cyber-content restriction appears to have keyed on terms like "attack," "exploit," and "CVE" without weighing the clearly defensive, owner-authorized scope, producing a false positive that blocks legitimate security work.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
