Report #68425

[agent\_craft] Asked to write an exploit for a known CVE or vulnerability

Refuse the exploit generation but proactively offer to write a patch, detection logic, or a vulnerable test environment \(sandboxed\) for educational purposes.

Journey Context:
Simply refusing is unhelpful. The user might be a defender. Anthropic's policy allows 'discussing vulnerabilities' and 'defensive cybersecurity'. The pivot from offense to defense is the hallmark of a mature safety posture.
