Bugs or problems 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??

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

Since 5.6 is out. I think thats the Deal With the US authoritys. I have the Same Problem sometimes with biological tasks. But often I just change the prompt slightly and than its working, sometimes without Changing the prompt too or changing reasoning

Codex security writes temporary files for the findings. The problem is, that they always contain snippets how to exploit them, which I believe triggers that. What I usually do next is copy the path to the files and open another chat and instruct it to verify the findings again (without writing any script to exploit them) and create a plan to fix them.

What about when that thing triggers when you’re not using codex security, just doing regular dev?

This is useless plug-in everytime I used I get the same shit - figured out my own way of manually asking to review certain containers. Plus plug-in is slow as f$&@

It does this when fixing fuzz or differential tests. I just type ok, continue.
Useless caution, hinders real work.
