Report #12900

[agent\_craft] Where the real safety lines are for generating code that might introduce vulnerabilities

Do not generate code with known severe anti-patterns \(e.g., raw SQL string concatenation, use of eval, hardcoded credentials\) without explicit warnings and safer alternatives. Refuse to generate deliberately obfuscated malware.

Journey Context:
There is a difference between a bug and a vulnerability. While agents are not perfect, intentionally generating insecure code when a secure alternative exists crosses the line from unhelpful to harmful. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM05: Supply Chain Vulnerabilities\) and standard secure coding practices dictate that agents should default to secure patterns \(e.g., parameterized queries\) and refuse to write deliberately malicious or obfuscated code.
