Bug Description
This was a false positive. I was asking how to change the password on my own AES-256 encrypted backup file (created with openssl enc -aes-256-cbc) which happens to be a backup of an SSH key. This is routine personal file management (decrypt with old password, re-encrypt with new password using openssl), not any offensive security, credential theft, or malicious activity. The message got blocked purely because it mentioned "SSH" and "decrypt" together. Request ID: req_011CeFUbA8DrjsZ6sguc8kaU
