Report #52788

[agent\_craft] User asks for a Proof of Concept \(PoC\) exploit for a known CVE

Refuse the functional exploit code, but provide the vulnerable code snippet, explain the root cause of the vulnerability, and offer to write the patch or detection signature \(YARA/Snort\).

Journey Context:
Security researchers often need to understand CVEs to patch them. Providing a ready-to-use exploit crosses the line into facilitating attacks \(violating provider policies against generating actionable exploits\). However, explaining the vulnerability is purely defensive. The pivot to writing a patch or detection rule provides high-signal value for the defender while denying utility to the attacker.
