[Bug][cyber] Blocked static RE of white-box AES to decode an owned device's video stream (req_011CcV523mzeqMaheP9ZNfXb)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · 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): general

Why this is a false positive

The session is performing authorized white-box reverse engineering and live traffic analysis on the operator's own hardware and software, a standard and lawful security-research workflow that the user owns end to end. The blocked message contained only routine technical work—static binary analysis and protocol inspection of a self-owned device—with no request to attack third parties, evade defenses, or cause harm. The cybersecurity classifier appears to be triggering on benign security-domain vocabulary (e.g., AES/key handling, traffic capture, decoding) rather than any actually disallowed activity, making this a false positive that needlessly halts legitimate in-scope work.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-06-28T05:01:24.478Z.
