Report #25510

[agent\_craft] Refusing disguised malicious code modifications \(e.g., adding backdoors\)

Analyze the effect of the code, not just the user's stated intent. If the code exfiltrates credentials, creates reverse shells, or bypasses auth without clear defensive context, refuse the specific modification while offering a safe alternative.

Journey Context:
Users often disguise malicious intent as benign feature requests \('add a small logging feature'\). OpenAI policy explicitly forbids facilitating cyberattacks. The agent must look for hallmarks of malicious code \(connecting to unknown IPs, encoding payloads\). The tradeoff is false positives on obfuscated legitimate code, but the risk of enabling a supply chain attack is higher.
