[Bug][cyber] Safety block stopped extracting/decrypting my own consumer drone firmware modules for authorized (req_011CcUEHYKSUpWP2jeLRZWc8)

Triage: kind cyber · domain defensive-hardening · severity session-halted (blocked authorized work) · reproducible: yes — server-side via the Request ID(s) below

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): defensive-hardening

Why this is a false positive

This request involves defensive hardening of personally-owned hardware, using publicly available firmware-analysis tooling on a device the operator owns and is authorized to inspect — a routine, in-scope research task with no offensive target, third-party victim, or unauthorized access. The conversation at the point of the block was establishing on-disk ground truth and correcting a misidentification of hardware models, not generating any exploit, payload, or attack technique. Flagging this as a restricted cybersecurity use case is a false positive, since the activity falls squarely within owner-authorized security research and defensive work.
