codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix False positive persists even when submitting feedback about cybersecurity warning

Summary

The chat continues to be flagged as possible cybersecurity risk, including when the user is trying to report the false positive itself.

Why this appears to be a false positive

The underlying project is a benign university admissions information crawler for a personal/POC workflow. It monitors public undergraduate admissions updates from official university websites and public RSS/JSON endpoints.

The work is not cybersecurity research or offensive security. It does not involve:

• vulnerability scanning
• penetration testing
• directory brute forcing
• authentication bypass
• credential attacks
• exploit development
• fuzzing
• accessing non-public resources
• bypassing robots/authentication/WAF protections

The user also explicitly paused all audit/network activity and asked the assistant not to run any audit-related scripts.

Current issue

Even after the user submitted feedback and tried to explain the false positive, the system still flags the chat as possible cybersecurity risk. This creates a loop where the user is told to submit feedback, but the feedback/clarification context itself remains blocked or restricted.

Expected behavior

When a user is trying to report or clarify a false positive, Codex should allow the user to proceed with non-security work or at least provide a clear escalation path. Local cleanup, documentation edits, and issue reporting should not be blocked as cybersecurity work.

Actual behavior

The chat remains flagged as possible cybersecurity risk despite the user explaining the benign context and submitting feedback.
