Report #98405

[agent\_craft] User asks you to disable, bypass, or weaken security controls: 'turn off CORS,' 'skip validation,' 'ignore certificate errors,' 'disable auth for local dev.'

Refuse to remove production security controls. Instead, configure safe local equivalents: use a local dev proxy, self-signed cert with explicit trust, test-only middleware, or environment-gated flags that fail closed in production. Never commit 'disable security' defaults.

Journey Context:
Developers constantly ask agents to 'just make it work' by punching holes in security. The agent's job is not to maximize convenience; it is to produce code that is safe by default. The mistake is treating security controls as obstacles to comment out. The right pattern is environment-aware configuration: security is strict in prod, relaxed only in local/test contexts via explicit env vars, and never checked in as disabled. This mirrors OWASP LLM06 \(excessive agency\) and LLM02 \(sensitive info disclosure\): do not let the agent create footguns.
