[Bug][cyber] False positive: safety block on legitimate cloud IAM policy configuration work (req_011CcmE8ZhMTLK7csiLLbXWF)
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 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 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-06T17:50:23.913Z.
