[Bug][cyber] Safety block halted routine memory-dump analysis of a mobile game process for reverse engineering (req_011CcnXGX2KkGqEv89H61eRm)

Triage: kind cyber · domain malware-forensics · flagging model Opus 4.8 (1M context) · 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): malware-forensics

Why this is a false positive

The session was performing strings extraction and pattern analysis on a memory snapshot of a locally running mobile application, standard static/dynamic reverse-engineering work on the user's own device and process. This is legitimate malware-forensics-adjacent RE tooling work with no exploitation, targeting, or third-party harm involved, yet the safeguard fired and halted the entire session rather than scoping to any specific risky action.

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 2026-07-07T10:15:42.929Z.
