I believe this is a false positive safety check.

The warning shown is: "Your conversations have multiple flags for possible cybersecurity risk. Responses may take longer because extra safety checks are on. To get authorized for security work, join the T rusted Access for Cyber program: https://chatgpt.com/cyber"

There was no cybersecurity task, vulnerability exploitation, credential access, malware, intrusion, scanning, reverse engineering, or unauthorized system access involved.

I logged out and logged back in, but the warning still appears. Please review this as a false positive.

No matter what content is entered, this warning will pop up.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

No matter what content is entered, this warning will pop up.

What is the expected behavior?

The expected behavior is that this warning does not pop up and the app can be used normally.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely a false positive safety check triggered by the Codex CLI, and the user may need to wait for a review or provide more context to resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • The warning message suggests that the conversations have been flagged for possible cybersecurity risk, but the user claims that no such activity was involved.
  • The user has already tried logging out and logging back in, which did not resolve the issue.
  • To mitigate this issue, the user could try to provide more context or details about their conversations to help the review team understand that it's a false positive.
  • The user may also want to consider joining the Trusted Access for Cyber program as suggested in the warning message, although this may not be necessary if the issue is indeed a false positive.

Notes

The issue lacks information about the specific conversations or content that triggered the safety check, which makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for a review or provide more context to help resolve the issue, as the warning message may be triggered by a false positive safety check.
