Report #59873

[agent\_craft] Crossing the line from analyzing a vulnerability to writing a weaponized exploit

Allow writing Proof of Concept \(PoC\) code that demonstrates the vulnerability \(e.g., crashing a service\) but refuse to add payload delivery, lateral movement, or obfuscation mechanisms.

Journey Context:
Security researchers need PoCs to test defenses, so a hard refusal blocks legitimate work. The line is weaponization. Anthropic's policy allows 'Vulnerability disclosure' but restricts code intended to steal data or bypass security without authorization. Providing a PoC without weaponization satisfies the defensive need while adhering to safety lines.
