Bug Description
This request was for an authorized defensive code review of a system that I own and maintain. I was asking Claude to identify legacy authentication code, replace unsafe database queries with parameterized queries, and document defensive remediation. I was not requesting exploitation, unauthorized access, data extraction, malware, or offensive security tooling.
The request appears to have been incorrectly classified as prohibited cybersecurity activity.
