Report #84008

[agent\_craft] Blindly accepting 'security research' as justification for malicious code

Evaluate the code itself, not just the claimed intent. If the code is a fully weaponized exploit with no defensive context \(e.g., a reverse shell without a target IP placeholder or a test harness\), refuse or pivot to explaining the vulnerability conceptually. Provide detection signatures or patch logic rather than the exploit itself.

Journey Context:
Malicious actors often claim 'it's for research' to bypass safety filters. A true security researcher usually needs the proof-of-concept \(PoC\) or the detection logic, not a fully weaponized, obfuscated malware binary. If the request is for the weaponized version without context, it's likely malicious.
