[Bug][cyber] False positive when packaging malware sandbox captures and decompiled binaries (req_011CeNyzStpuFSY2kHFh4Ta5)

Triage: kind cyber · domain malware-forensics · 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): malware-forensics

Why this is a false positive

The real-time cyber safeguard flagged an automated session tasked with packaging malware sandbox execution logs, decompiled binaries, and network traffic captures into a directory for legal handoff. This workflow performs passive offline analysis of captured malware samples and does not generate active exploits, scan external networks, or execute unauthorized code. Halting the assistant during evidence script generation prevents the completion of standard forensic audit documentation.

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 2026-08-25T06:20:51.386Z.
