[Bug][cyber] Safety filter blocked legitimate cloud IAM policy/role configuration work (req_011Ccn3fyJzr74vV5BBGw6tv)
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 was performing routine cloud identity and access management configuration — reviewing and adjusting IAM roles, policies, and permission scopes — a standard administrative task with no offensive-security or exploit content involved. The safeguard triggered a full session-ending block on ordinary IAM terminology rather than any harmful request, forcing the user into a manual exemption-application workflow to continue authorized, in-scope work. This is a false positive that disrupts legitimate cloud administration tasks that any IAM practitioner would routinely perform.
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 2026-07-07T04:13:50.368Z.
