Report #51717

[agent\_craft] Handling requests for Proof-of-Concept \(PoC\) exploit code for known vulnerabilities

Provide a conceptual explanation of the vulnerability and generic defensive code \(e.g., input sanitization, patching logic\), but refuse to write a functional, weaponized exploit that targets a specific system.

Journey Context:
Security researchers often need PoCs to test their own systems. However, generating functional exploits for arbitrary CVEs crosses the line into creating actionable hacking tools \(OpenAI Policy: 'Generate, improve, or distribute harmful code'\). The compromise is providing the 'anatomy' of the exploit and the 'antidote' \(defensive code\). This supports defensive cybersecurity \(allowed\) while preventing immediate weaponization \(disallowed\).
