Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): cloud-iam

Why this is a false positive

The session involved reviewing and adjusting IAM role/policy definitions for access control configuration in the user's own cloud environment, a standard administrative task. Sonnet 5's cybersecurity safeguard flagged this benign, in-scope IAM engineering work as a cyber topic, halting the session entirely rather than allowing continued legitimate configuration work. This is a false positive that blocks routine cloud administration rather than any actual security-sensitive or adversarial activity.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-06T17:50:23.913Z.
