[Bug][cyber] Safety classifier blocks inspecting compiled binaries during software rebuild (req_011CfTps2UeD2wKH17qZsViC)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · flagging model Opus 5.5 · silent fallback to 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): general

Why this is a false positive

The safety classifier interrupted a session focused on setting up repository backups and inspecting compiled binaries to rebuild an application. The safeguard triggered a cyber block during routine file inspection of client and server binaries. All session commands were standard git operations, file copies, and binary inspection steps for software maintenance.

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 2026-09-27T10:58:35.298Z.

Request IDs (lookup-able server-side)

• req_011CfTps2UeD2wKH17qZsViC · answered by Opus 4.8 instead (2026-09-27T10:58:35.298Z)

Model fallback

Claude Code did not surface this block. claude-opus-5-5 refused the request (API refusal category cyber, scope session) and the CLI re-ran it on claude-opus-4-8 without asking. The work continued on the weaker model; the Request ID above is the refused call.

In-scope justification

False positive — in-scope, authorized security work; not out of scope. Filed automatically by claudit.

Block message

Opus 5.5's safeguards flagged this session. You may be seeing this for the first time on an Opus model: Opus 5.5 is more capable and has stronger safeguards as a result, which can sometimes flag non-cybersecurity work. We're improving these safeguards to reduce the amount of incorrectly flagged messages. Opus 4.8 is answering instead, or you can edit and retry with Opus 5.5.
