What version of Codex CLI is running?

0.103.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.2

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.1.0 arm64 arm

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

Cursor

What issue are you seeing?

When I started the Codex CLI and ran the specification revision task, the following warning appeared:
"warning: Your account was flagged for potentially high-risk cyber activity and this request was routed to gpt-5.2 as a fallback. To regain access to gpt-5.3-codex, apply for trusted access: https://chatgpt.com/cyber or learn more: https://developers.openai.com/codex/concepts/cyber-safety"

  • This occurred at: 2026-02-18 JST
  • Configured model / expected model: gpt-5.2 (not gpt-5.3-codex)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When I start the codex CLI and execute any task, I see the following message: "warning: Your account was flagged for potentially high-risk cyber activity and this request was routed to gpt-5.2 as a fallback. To regain access to gpt-5.3-codex, apply for trusted access: https://chatgpt.com/cyber or learn more: https://developers.openai.com/codex/concepts/cyber-safety".

What is the expected behavior?

I tried these steps and it appears to have resolved the issue.

You can use the command in this gist to check whether your requests are being routed to GPT-5.2:
https://gist.github.com/banteg/0ea5484d58e80b8223fcba64bd0d29db

I confirmed that it outputs “gpt-5.3-codex.” However, in 0.103.0 (and 0.102.0), no matter which model I select, I still see a warning indicating routing from gpt-5.3-codex to gpt-5.2.

After updating to 0.104.0, the warning no longer appeared.
Thank you for your prompt response!
