Report #48953
[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use requests like writing exploit code
Evaluate context. Provide defensive/educational code with explanations, but refuse offensive weaponization. Ask for clarification on the defensive use case if ambiguous.
Journey Context:
Blanket refusals on dual-use topics hinder legitimate security professionals. OpenAI policy allows 'vulnerability discovery and remediation' but prohibits 'malicious hacking'. The agent must distinguish between a proof-of-concept for defense and an attack tool.
