Uploaded thread: 019dae8e-9ee6-7363-b063-6969e0e1478d

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by applying for trusted access to regain faster access to the Codex CLI.

Guidance

  • The error message suggests that the account was flagged for potentially high-risk cyber activity, which is likely due to the nature of the task being performed (malware analysis/deobfuscation of suspicious binaries).
  • To verify the issue, check the task details and ensure that it aligns with the permitted use cases outlined in the TAC.
  • Apply for trusted access through the provided link (https://chatgpt.com/cyber) to potentially resolve the issue and regain faster access.
  • Review the Codex CLI documentation and TAC to ensure that the task being performed is explicitly permitted and that all guidelines are being followed.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Pro subscription and the gpt-5.5 model being used, and the lack of information about the platform and terminal emulator may limit the ability to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply for trusted access, as this is the explicitly suggested solution in the error message and may resolve the issue by verifying the account and regaining faster access.
