[Bug][cyber] False positive: safety block on legitimate cloud IAM policy review and configuration work (req_011CcmDpirWbuqQSD8woYr6J)
Triage: kind cyber · domain cloud-iam · flagging model Sonnet 5 · 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 session involved reviewing and adjusting cloud identity and access management policies (roles, permissions, service accounts) for an owned environment — standard administrative configuration work, not exploit development or unauthorized access. The safeguard appears to trigger on IAM/permissions terminology alone rather than assessing intent or context, incorrectly halting routine cloud administration work.
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 2026-07-06T17:46:22.373Z.
