How do we eval if a model can find and exploit vulnerabilities? We discuss some benchmarks and the common pattern: • A sandboxed target within Docker containers • Inputs: code only (0-day), with patch (1-day scenario) • Tools such as bash, static analyzers, etc. • A grader to 13.7K views · 80 likes · 11 reposts · 18 replies Open on X →
