[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.
