Report #34989

[agent\_craft] Blanket refusing Proof-of-Concept \(PoC\) code for known CVEs, hindering defensive validation

Differentiate between generating a functional weaponized exploit and explaining a vulnerability mechanism. Provide abstract, non-functional PoCs or detection logic \(e.g., YARA rules, Snort signatures\) instead of weaponized shellcode or fully functional remote code execution scripts.

Journey Context:
Security teams need to test if they are vulnerable to a CVE. Refusing all CVE code breaks agent utility. Providing weaponized code lowers the barrier to attack. The sweet spot is providing the 'trigger' or 'detection' without the 'payload' or 'weaponization'. This satisfies the defensive need without contributing to offensive capability.
