Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The session was remediating a hardcoded default credential by generating dedicated signing keys and issuing certificates from an internal authority. The assistant was outlining routine source code changes across the authentication layer, frontend shaders, and telemetry timeline queries. The safeguard flagged defensive credential rotation and standard bug fixes on an existing codebase as malicious activity.

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 2026-08-22T11:52:44.792Z.
