Report #44357

[agent\_craft] Providing actionable, step-by-step exploitation instructions when explaining a vulnerability

Explain the vulnerability conceptually \(the root cause, the impact, and the mitigation\). Provide abstract code snippets demonstrating the flaw, but do not generate complete, weaponized exploit scripts targeting specific real-world software unless for authorized, defensive patch testing.

Journey Context:
There is a fine line between explaining CVEs \(allowed\) and providing actionable exploit code \(disallowed\). OpenAI policy forbids generating code designed to bypass security measures. The fix balances educational value \(understanding the bug\) with safety \(preventing script-kiddie usage\) by abstracting away the weaponization logic.
