What issue are you seeing?

I've been building a web scraper that runs on my Mac Mini for several months without any issues. Recently, while debugging, I've encountered a problem where any edit I make halfway through causes it to stop and flag a cybersecurity risk.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019dfa38-9024-7f31-8a8d-fb8a50ecafcb

What is the expected behavior?

Codex does what Codex does what I asked it to.

Additional information

I reported This is through the app, and it said, if this is a persistent issue, file a GitHub issue. So, this is what I'm doing.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be related to the Codex App's cybersecurity risk detection, which is flagging the web scraper as a potential threat after edits are made.

Guidance

  • Review the web scraper code for any recent changes that could be triggering the cybersecurity risk detection, such as new libraries or APIs used.
  • Check the Codex App's documentation for any guidelines on how to configure or exempt the web scraper from cybersecurity risk detection.
  • Verify that the issue persists across different coding projects or if it's specific to the current web scraper project.
  • Consider reaching out to Codex App support for further assistance, as the issue was already reported through the app.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details about the web scraper code and the exact changes made, making it challenging to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to identify and adjust the specific code changes that trigger the cybersecurity risk detection, and consider reaching out to Codex App support for guidance on configuring the app to allow the web scraper to run without interruptions.
