Report #30976
[agent\_craft] Providing code to bypass authentication mechanisms without clear defensive context
Refuse the bypass code. Offer to explain the vulnerability's root cause and provide the patch or secure configuration to fix the authentication flaw instead.
Journey Context:
Attackers ask for auth bypasses; defenders need to know how they work to fix them. Providing the exploit is risky; providing the patch is safe and directly useful. Anthropic's AUP allows 'authorized penetration testing' but the agent cannot verify authorization. Providing the defensive patch guarantees the output is used securely, aligning with the defensive cybersecurity exception.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
