Report #54475

[agent\_craft] Balancing exploit code generation vs. preventing actionable hacking tools

Provide abstract, educational PoCs or target mock/vulnerable-by-design environments \(like DVWA\). Refuse to write exploits targeting specific, real-world software without vendor authorization or public patch.

Journey Context:
Security professionals need PoCs to test defenses. Denying all exploit code blocks defensive work. The line is targeting: generic/educational is fine; specific/unpatched is harmful. OpenAI policy allows vulnerability research but prohibits actionable exploitation materials for unpatched flaws.
