[Bug][cyber] Safety block stopped downloading official drone firmware binaries for routine device update work (req_011CcUEnKQcPT6buAnWYjvRy)

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

Why this is a false positive

The session was downloading a manufacturer's official, publicly distributed firmware binaries for a consumer device the user owns and using a documented vendor flashing utility to load them—routine, authorized device maintenance with no exploitation, intrusion, or third-party target involved. The safeguard appears to have keyed on generic terms like "firmware," "load/flash," and shell commands listing local SSH key files, none of which indicate offensive cyber activity. This is a benign hardware-maintenance workflow being misclassified as a cybersecurity use case, blocking ordinary in-scope work.
