ExploitBench grades AI exploit development as a 16-step capability ladder on V8 bugs
CapabilityBenchmarkCarnegie Mellon University, Bugcrowd

Carnegie Mellon researchers released ExploitBench, which scores exploitation progress on 41 V8 JavaScript-engine vulnerabilities across 16 flags from reaching the bug through arbitrary read/write, control-flow hijack and code execution. The paper reports that public models routinely reach and crash vulnerable code but rarely achieve arbitrary code execution, while one private frontier model succeeded on roughly half of cases.
