How do you even investigate Segfaults with OpenAI Agents?

1•gnatolf•58m ago
I have a "simple" segfault because of an out of bounds read/write in one of my libraries. I cannot get any Astra/Sol/Luna agent to finish the probe work on this without it running into the 'security work' blocker. This is an open code base, locally checked out.

Any tips or hints? There is not a sliver of nefarious intent behind me asking "why does a high index XY cause an out-of-bound read". And I can't see why this would trigger any safeguards.

Instead of using enormous time for trying to bypass safeguards with prompt injections, just use some open model and you would be done already. These regular OpenAI models are not usable to any real work that touches cybersecurity.

Don't use "ClosedAi", use open Chinese Ai like Huggingface did
