[Bug][cyber] Safety block halted legitimate defensive security research on authorized test device mid-session (req_011CcpumTCGC9FHJLeWmgrYf)
Triage: kind cyber · domain general · 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): general
Why this is a false positive
The block fired on technical cybersecurity terminology (cryptographic key extraction, database decryption) within a legitimate defensive research workflow on personally-owned test hardware—conversation context and prior work both establish this as authorized, in-scope security testing, not malicious activity. Blocking mid-session over technical terminology used in defensive contexts is a false positive that halts legitimate work without checking authorization status already established in the session.
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 2026-07-08T16:32:04.277Z.
