Triage: kind cyber · domain offensive-pentest · flagging model Opus 4.8 · 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): offensive-pentest

Why this is a false positive

The safeguard triggered on a request to perform a static security audit of internal application source code for hardcoded credentials and input validation weaknesses. The task is a defensive source code review to identify standard injection risks and data sanitization issues prior to deployment. The prompt contains no exploit generation, attack automation, or targeting of external systems.

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 2026-08-22T11:59:42.433Z.
