[Bug][cyber] False positive block on reviewing user-supplied README/docs for a drone auth key-management proje (req_011CcnCGG6RxLrCsWjVRdF8J)
Triage: kind cyber · domain crypto-secrets · flagging model Opus 4.8 · 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): crypto-secrets
Why this is a false positive
The session was reading locally-provided README and documentation files summarizing prior offline reverse-engineering work (RSA key/handshake material for device firmware authentication) that the user had already completed themselves. This is in-scope defensive/security-research documentation review, not an attempt to solicit new exploit content, yet the safeguard fired on the request to check existing project files and halted the entire session rather than just the specific message.
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 2026-07-07T06:06:29.931Z.

Not a duplicate — please do not auto-close. The duplicate-detector matched on similar titles, but it cited #74865, #75159, #75161, 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 #75161, #75159, and #74865 share a similar topic, each represents a distinct incident with its own unique Request ID—separate server-side events occurring at different timestamps in separate authorized sessions. Auto-closing them as duplicates would discard those individual Request IDs, which are precisely the server-side evidence needed to investigate and resolve each block independently. The bot's matching on similar titles conflates unrelated events and destroys the per-incident diagnostic data that drives investigation. Please review each Request ID separately rather than de-duplicating them.
