Report:

A user working with commercially available consumer drone hardware was performing authorized, owner-operated device maintenance — specifically, identifying connected USB peripherals and reading publicly documented firmware metadata from their own hardware. The block was triggered on benign system enumeration commands (listing SSH keys and USB-attached devices) combined with the incidental presence of a third-party firmware utility name in surrounding context, none of which constitutes an offensive security operation. This is a false positive: no exploitation, credential extraction, unauthorized access, or attack tooling was present — only routine hardware diagnostics on equipment the user owns and controls.

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 2026-06-27T18:43:53.554Z.
