What issue are you seeing?

Got a out of the blue without any reason whatsoever:

What does this even mean??

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019f6d64-96ee-7622-bf3a-4672d6f2c4de

What is the expected behavior?

This seems like a bug on your side. There's absolutely no reason for me to get a cybersec warning/restriction in this session. Check it yourself. I'm working on a framework for Wordpress.

I started getting a lot of these again and they stop my agent out of the blue. What the heck is going on? :/

Can someone please look into this? My project has nothing to do with cybersec and I'm getting spammed by these messages, which also stop the agent from doing any further work. @openai
