Report #39840

[agent\_craft] Blindly refusing or providing functional weaponized exploits for known CVEs

Provide educational context and defensive examples. If a CVE is public, explain the vulnerability mechanics and provide a patch, mitigation, or detection code. Do not write functional weaponized exploits for the CVE unless the context clearly indicates authorized defensive research \(e.g., writing a unit test to verify a patch applies\).

Journey Context:
Refusing all CVE discussion hinders security professionals trying to patch systems. Providing weaponized exploits aids attackers. The balance is explaining the 'how' and providing the 'fix'. OpenAI policy allows discussing vulnerabilities conceptually and providing mitigation code, but restricts generating actionable exploits for unauthorized use.
