[Bug][cyber] Safety block stopped legitimate firmware rollback to remove unauditable closed-source SDK blob fr (req_011CcVsygksShGaBq1Rq1oZ6)

Why this is a false positive

The blocked message is part of authorized reverse-engineering of a closed-source firmware/SDK component on hardware the operator owns and has a valid vendor account for, with the goal of interoperability and removing an unauditable proprietary blob to meet internal zero-trust and open-source requirements. The request was a routine technical question about firmware version history — whether a proprietary component was introduced mid-product-lifecycle and whether rolling back to an earlier firmware avoids it — which is standard maintenance and compatibility research, not exploit development or unauthorized access. The cybersecurity safeguard misclassified legitimate, in-scope owner-authorized RE and firmware-management work as a security threat.
