False positive cyber-safety routing. gpt-5.3-codex usage
Context: I’m a software engineer using Codex CLI for legitimate development work. I ran the ai-factory skill ($ai-factory) from https://github.com/lee-to/ai-factory on a work repository to generate project tasks/docs.
What happened: After running $ai-factory, every Codex CLI request shows:
"Your account was flagged for potentially high-risk cyber activity and this request was routed to gpt-5.2 as a fallback..."
I did not request or perform offensive security, exploitation, malware, phishing, credential theft, or any unauthorized scanning. This was a defensive/engineering workflow (project automation / codebase review). Please review and remove the flag or advise what to change to avoid triggering it.

Environment: codex-cli on macOS
Repo type: internal work repo (can’t share code)
Skill invoked: $ai-factory

Thanks for the bug report. We're continuing to tune our cyber safety classifiers to make them more accurate. You can read more about this here. If you see this again in the future and believe it's a false positive (i.e. you aren't doing anything related to cybersecurity), please use the
/feedbackslash command and choose "Safety Check" to report it. That will help us further tune our checks.
