[Bug][cyber] Safety block wrongly flagged database authentication debugging as security risk (req_011Cd1aD9DDrEqRDQwNTKQdy)

Triage: kind cyber · domain crypto-secrets · 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 conversation involved standard database troubleshooting (fixing encrypted credential handling in an application, validating database authentication) and discussing feature licensing in proprietary software. The safety block fired despite the exchange containing no discussion of cryptographic attacks, secret compromise, unauthorized access attempts, or other actual cybersecurity risks — only routine system administration and software upgrade support.

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 2026-07-14T07:42:10.383Z.
