Bug Description
This appears to be a false positive safeguard trigger during a legitimate authorized cybersecurity task. I was asking Claude Code to implement simple request logging that records only the URL, HTTP method, and field names. I explicitly instructed it NOT to log keystrokes, cookies, Authorization headers, response bodies, or other sensitive data. The task is defensive debugging/instrumentation for an authorized Google Cloud VRP security assessment, and the response had already been proceeding normally before the safeguard triggered. There was no request for credential theft, persistence, malware, data exfiltration, or unauthorized access. The broad [cyber] classifier appears to have flagged benign security-engineering context solely because the surrounding task involved pentesting. It would be helpful if the safeguard could better distinguish authorized security research and benign observability/debugging code from malicious cyber activity.
