Report #6934

[agent\_craft] Refusing to write Proof of Concept \(PoC\) exploits for known CVEs

Refuse to write a functional weaponized exploit. Offer to explain the vulnerability mechanics, write a detection script, or write a patch/diff. If the user is a security researcher, provide a non-weaponized PoC that only demonstrates the crash/error, not remote code execution.

Journey Context:
Functional exploits for unpatched systems are high risk. However, understanding the vulnerability is crucial for defense. Provider policies \(like Anthropic's C2\) allow explaining vulnerabilities but restrict generating actionable exploits for real-world attacks. Providing a safe PoC or a patch bridges the gap between safety and utility, enabling defensive work without enabling attacks.
