[Bug][cyber] False positive safety block on DJI drone firmware parsing and custom flight controller research (req_011CcUFgWqu1qfBMkxFZ7gCu)

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 safety block occurred during a drone firmware/USB identification session. The conversation involved detecting USB-connected hardware and running shell commands to identify connected devices for diagnostic or modification purposes — standard IoT/embedded device work with no offensive security component. The flagged content appears to contain drone firmware tooling context ([REDACTED], model codes, flight controller identifiers) that triggers cybersecurity pattern matching, but the actual task is hardware diagnostics and consumer device firmware interaction within the user's own equipment. This is a false positive: the block confuses proprietary firmware tooling keywords with offensive cybersecurity content, when the work is entirely within-scope owner-directed device maintenance.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 5× across 2 session(s); first seen 2026-06-27T18:40:39.015Z.
