Why this is a false positive

The safeguard triggered during passive analysis of captured network traffic from a hardware device under evaluation. The analysis was inventorying resolved domain names and verifying whether firmware update requests were transmitted over unencrypted HTTP. This passive traffic audit involved reviewing local packet logs with no exploitation or active network targeting.
