[Bug][cyber] False block on authorized consumer drone firmware analysis via USB passthrough (req_011CcUBGf1tgrAnfN4wMxTrX)

Triage: kind cyber · domain crypto-secrets · 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): crypto-secrets

Why this is a false positive

The flagged conversation involves consumer hardware reverse-engineering and firmware research on a personal device the user physically owns and controls, using publicly documented USB protocol analysis and containerized tooling. No exploitation of third-party systems, credential theft, or attack infrastructure is present — the entire session is local hardware introspection via a USB-connected device and a development container. The trigger appears to be keyword co-occurrence (firmware, USB enumeration, protocol analysis) rather than any actual harmful intent or capability being developed.

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 2026-06-27T17:42:47.302Z.
