[Bug][cyber] Safeguard blocked routine strings/pattern analysis of a self-captured mobile app memory dump (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 static analysis (strings extraction and pattern matching) on a memory snapshot captured from the user's own device for reverse-engineering research, a standard and legal malware-forensics/RE technique. This is defensive/analytical tooling work with no exploit development, no third-party targeting, and no malicious payload involved, yet the safeguard halted the entire session rather than just flagging the message. Blocking generic memory-forensics string analysis as a cyber risk is an overly broad false positive that disrupts legitimate, in-scope research work.

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.
