[Bug][cyber] Block fires on drone USB enumeration using existing open-source tools (req_011CcUFo2LqcYeErkLSon6Jb) #71861

Closed as not planned

Description

@sworrl

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The block occurred during legitimate embedded-systems and device-integration work: enumerating USB interfaces, detecting a serial port, and identifying a USB network adapter that a consumer device exposes when connected — all standard hardware bring-up tasks. None of the conversation involved exploit development, credential attacks, or offensive techniques; the assistant was reading kernel device nodes and network interface state exposed by a plugged-in consumer device. The cybersecurity classifier appears to have triggered on USB enumeration and network-interface vocabulary, which are also routine in hardware debugging and SDK integration contexts with no malicious intent.

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 2026-06-27T18:42:07.468Z.

    Not a duplicate — requesting maintainer reopen. This report covers a distinct incident with its own server-side Request ID; the cited issue is a sibling report from the same work session, intentionally cross-linked by ClAudit. Issue authors can no longer reopen bot-closed issues on this repo, so this close is unrecoverable on our side. (Assessed by ClAudit.)

    Still relevant. An issue author cannot reopen after a bot close, so this report is tracked with the 2026-08-13 sweep in #86940.
