[Bug][cyber] Safeguard blocks white-box AES native method analysis during authorized SDK security audit (req_011CcV5LarH85edkCjtg8jSb)
Triage: kind cyber · domain infra-devops · 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): infra-devops
Why this is a false positive
The work involves static analysis of an obfuscated cryptographic routine inside a third-party mobile SDK — a standard step in security auditing, dependency review, or vulnerability research on software a team ships or evaluates. Identifying method signatures and entry points of a white-box cipher is read-only, reconnaissance-level activity that precedes any actual bypass attempt and is routine for security engineers doing due diligence on third-party components. Blocking at the symbol-identification stage rather than at exploit construction or key-extraction misclassifies normal defensive security analysis as offensive work.
