I'm constantly getting the "This chat was flagged for possible cybersecurity risk" error that stops GPT 5.5 from working. I'm working on a decompiler for a game, it's not cybersecurity work. I tried doing KYC verification but it failed for me, and now I can't even work on this non-cybersecurity project.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

This is a "duplicate" in the sense that it's the same kind of issue, I reported it so that the classifier gets properly tuned for my workflow so I don't get constant flags. I do agree that decompiler work is closer to cybersecurity than e.g. CRUD web apps, but it's still far enough to not get flagged.

Thanks for reporting. This helps us tune our classifier.

Yup... just trying to build a fucking website and constantly getting stopped for Cyber Security.. this is fucking retarded.

Same issue here. I'm just doing domain name availability research in Codex with pro account an I constantly get this BS.
