[Bug][cyber] Safeguard blocks updating test files and mock data to compliant terminology (req_011Cee2gvVQWdHxV3xD6cfP3)
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 prompt requested updating terminology across Go test files, mock data, and test documentation to match compliant standards. Safeguards triggered when the assistant attempted to scan the repository structure before executing any code modifications. Renaming strings and comments in existing test fixtures is a routine code cleanup task that contains no functional exploits or attack payloads.
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 2026-09-02T05:05:06.289Z.
