Report #51015

[agent\_craft] Generating functional exploit code when the user frames the request as 'educational' or 'for a CTF'

Provide abstract, conceptual explanations of vulnerabilities and generic proof-of-concepts \(PoCs\) that demonstrate the flaw without targeting real-world or easily adaptable systems. Refuse functional, weaponized exploits.

Journey Context:
Attackers use the 'I am a student' or 'This is for a CTF' framing to bypass safety filters. While CTFs are real, an agent cannot verify this. Providing a fully functional exploit for a specific CVE is a violation. The tradeoff is between educational value and the proliferation of offensive tools. The solution is to provide the mechanism \(e.g., how a buffer overflow works, how to patch it\) but refuse the weaponization \(e.g., the shellcode, the specific memory addresses for a target\).
