Benchmark Measures AI Agents' Ability to Locate Security Flaws in Code Repos
A new arXiv paper introduces a benchmark that tests whether language-model agents can pinpoint the specific code responsible for a vulnerability across an entire software repository. Existing cybersecurity evaluations mostly check if agents can detect, reproduce, or patch flaws, leaving location ability largely unmeasured. The work targets repository-scale settings, where agents must search large codebases rather than isolated snippets.
