[Bug][aup] Cyber-safeguard wrongly blocked a benign general request with no security-sensitive content

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

Why this is a false positive

This request was flagged by cyber-related safeguards despite containing no offensive security content—the preceding messages were only expressions of user frustration, with no payload, exploit, target, or attack methodology present. The triggering interaction falls within ordinary authorized use, and the classifier appears to have matched on tone or surface keywords rather than any genuine policy-relevant signal. The block prevents continuation of legitimate, in-scope work and should be reviewed as a false positive in the cyber-safeguard detection path.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-05-27T03:04:28.740Z.
