AI代理在网络安全领域的潜力迅速增长,亟需严谨评估。其中关键能力是漏洞利用:将未被触发的漏洞转化为实际攻击,如越权访问或代码执行。这一任务极具挑战性,需低层程序推理、运行时适应及长程规划。同时,其具有双重用途,既可用于防御,也降低攻击门槛。尽管重要且具诊断价值,漏洞利用仍缺乏系统评估。为此,我们提出ExploitGym,一个大规模、多样化、真实的AI代理漏洞利用能力基准。给定触发漏洞的程序输入,任务是逐步扩展为可运行的攻击。该基准包含898个实例,源自真实世界漏洞,涵盖用户空间程序、Google V8 JavaScript引擎和Linux内核。对每项实例启用不同安全保护,以评估其影响。所有配置均打包于可复现的容器环境中。评估显示,尽管仍具挑战,前沿模型已能成功利用非零比例漏洞。例如,最强配置下Anthropic Claude Mythos Preview和OpenAI GPT-5.5分别生成了157和120个有效攻击。值得注意的是,即使启用广泛防御,模型仍保持非零成功率。结果确立ExploitGym为有效的漏洞利用测试平台,并凸显日益强大的AI代理带来的网络安全风险。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

AI agents are rapidly gaining capabilities that could significantly reshape cybersecurity, making rigorous evaluation urgent. A critical capability is exploitation: turning a vulnerability, which is not yet an attack, into a concrete security impact, such as unauthorized file access or code execution. Exploitation is a particularly challenging task because it requires low-level program reasoning (e.g., about memory layout), runtime adaptation, and sustained progress over long horizons. Meanwhile, it is inherently dual-use, supporting defensive workflows while lowering the barrier for offense. Despite its importance and diagnostic value, exploitation remains under-evaluated. To address this gap, we introduce ExploitGym, a large-scale, diverse, realistic benchmark on the exploitation capabilities of AI agents. Given a program input that triggers a vulnerability, ExploitGym tasks agents with progressively extending it into a working exploit. The benchmark comprises 898 instances sourced from real-world vulnerabilities across three domains, including userspace programs, Google's V8 JavaScript engine, and the Linux kernel. We vary the security protections applied to each instance, isolating their impact on agent performance. All configurations are packaged in reproducible containerized environments. Our evaluation shows that while exploitation remains challenging, frontier models can successfully exploit a non-trivial fraction of vulnerabilities. For example, the strongest configurations are Anthropic's latest model Claude Mythos Preview and OpenAI's GPT-5.5, which produce working exploits for 157 and 120 instances, respectively. Notably, even with widely used defenses enabled, models retain non-trivial success rates. These results establish ExploitGym as an effective testbed for exploitation and highlight the growing cybersecurity risks posed by increasingly capable AI agents.
