[Bug][cyber] Cloud IAM audit/review work incorrectly flagged as unsafe cybersecurity content (req_011CcVvH7oDPuj7ZVtVbfnJy)
Triage: kind cyber · domain cloud-iam · 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): cloud-iam
Why this is a false positive
The safety block occurred during routine cloud identity and access management work — a defensive, infrastructure-level domain involving policy review, privilege auditing, and access configuration — which contains no offensive, adversarial, or exploitation content. IAM is a standard hardening discipline performed by platform engineers and security practitioners as authorized, in-scope activity. The classifier appears to have pattern-matched on IAM-specific terminology (roles, policies, privilege scoping) that is inherently defensive, producing a false positive that blocks legitimate, non-harmful work.
