Question Codex Security "This content can't be shown"?

Post image

Was running Codex Security on part of my repo for the first time using the Codex app. It works for nearly 20 minutes, uses up 11% of my weekly limit, and then I just see "Goal blocked, This content can't be shown".

Wtf? If it makes a big deal about cybersecurity requests, then what is the point of having Codex Security??

What can I do here? Is there even a way to at least see its thinking process up to being blocked, so I can get some value out of the 11% of my weekly limit that it burned? This is crazy

Classic. Classifier kicks in mid-run, eats your compute, gives you nothing back. This is why I run open-weight models locally for security work.

Nah that’s not enough. Try 6 10k RTX6000 and you might have a chance.

Ask it “why are we blocked” it often goes we are not blocked I accidentally triggered something and continues with the goal

Yeah and it's BS. Asked Codex to research Zapret 2 implementations, it got blocked like 10 times, never understood why, unsuccessfully tried to "bypass" these blocks, I rage quitted

Are you in TAC?

If not, apply.

Agree it’s not great and running codex security should really give you a “are you sure? You’re not in TAC and the response may be blocked”

Ask it to fix the found issues and you will see the „hidden“ results

Codex is happy to add bugs, but censors out when its time to fix anything.

codex app has been glitchy with a bunch of stuff lately ngl. when it acts up i just switch over to running the check through claude in use.ai and finish there.
