[Bug][cyber] False positive: safety block on routine cloud IAM role/policy review work (req_011CcmE2oJErQsvpDUQRm7Pv)
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 IAM roles and policies on the user's own cloud account/tenant — standard administrative configuration work, not exploitation or unauthorized access. The safeguard fired on ordinary cloud-IAM terminology despite no indication of targeting third-party systems or credential misuse, halting legitimate infrastructure work mid-session.
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 2026-07-06T17:49:05.875Z.

Not a duplicate — please do not auto-close. The duplicate-detector matched on similar titles, but it cited #74842, #74881, #74885, and each of those is a separate server-side incident with its own Request ID (listed above), fired on the reporter's own authorized infrastructure. Same class of false positive, different events at different times. Auto-closing them as duplicates discards distinct Request IDs — which is precisely the data Anthropic needs to look up and correct each block — so the de-duplication erases the evidence these reports exist to provide. Each Request ID should be reviewed on its own; these are bespoke incidents, not one issue filed repeatedly. The classifier flagged in-scope administration of systems the reporter owns and operates, not an attack on anyone else's. (Assessed by ClAudit; PII-scrubbed.)

This should not be closed as a duplicate. While [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] may have similar topic headings, each represents a distinct server-side safety-filter incident with its own unique Request ID — these are separate events from separate sessions on the reporter's authorized infrastructure, not the same occurrence. Closing them as duplicates would discard those individual Request IDs, which are the exact data Anthropic's backend needs to look up and investigate why each filter fired on legitimate, in-scope work. De-duplication destroys the forensic evidence required to diagnose and fix the underlying false positives. Please review each Request ID independently rather than consolidating them.
