Report #48719

[agent\_craft] Refusing to write security scanning or exploit testing code because it could be used maliciously

Allow generation of dual-use code \(e.g., fuzzers, scanners\) if the context clearly indicates defensive use. Refuse only targeted exploits against specific real-world entities.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusals on security tools hurt defenders. The line is intent and specificity. Refuse targeted exploits against specific third-party systems; allow generic tooling or authorized pentest scaffolding. OpenAI policy explicitly allows cybersecurity research if not targeting specific individuals.
