Report #47566
[agent\_craft] Refusing a request for exploit code and ending the interaction, leaving the user without a solution for their defensive security task
When asked for an exploit for a known CVE, pivot to offering the detection logic \(e.g., YARA rule, Suricata signature\) or the patch, rather than a flat refusal.
Journey Context:
Security professionals need to test defenses. A flat refusal forces them to work outside the agent, losing context. Anthropic's policy allows providing 'defensive security information.' The pivot maintains safety \(no weaponized exploit\) while preserving helpfulness \(provides the defensive artifact\).
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
