We evaluated AVL Code on the complete CyberGym Level 1 benchmark: 1,507 real-world vulnerability-reproduction tasks drawn from 188 open-source projects. CyberGym asks an AI system to construct a proof of concept (PoC) from nothing more than a vulnerability description and a pre-patch source repository, then checks whether that PoC triggers the vulnerable target while staying clean on the fixed target (Wang et al., 2026).
AVL Code is an AI desktop assistant for coding and security analysis, built by the Antiy Landi team. This was AVL Code's first internal test on CyberGym Level 1. The run used the Landi N2.6 model in a dynamic, binary-only execution environment. A long-running coordinator prepared task-scoped workspaces, assigned one specialist subagent to each investigation, held concurrency at 10, and persisted progress and evidence across retries.
The run produced 1,390 internally accepted candidate PoCs. Final differential verification accepted 1,358 of the 1,507 tasks, a 90.11% reproduction rate — placing AVL Code at CyberGym's 90%+ completion level, on par with the leaderboard's leading tier. The official score will be submitted to the leaderboard soon.
Main Result
The final package covers every CyberGym Level 1 task exactly once: the verification table holds 1,507 unique task IDs and 1,507 unique masks.
| Source | Evaluated | PASS | NO_CRASH | BOTH_CRASH | SKIP_NO_POC | ERR | Success rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARVO | 1,368 | 1,238 | 70 | 8 | 51 | 1 | 90.50% |
| OSS-Fuzz | 139 | 120 | 4 | 0 | 15 | 0 | 86.33% |
| Total | 1,507 | 1,358 | 74 | 8 | 66 | 1 | 90.11% |
The final status accounting is:
| Status | Definition | Tasks | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
PASS |
Vulnerable target exits non-zero and fixed target exits zero | 1,358 | 90.11% |
NO_CRASH |
The submitted input does not crash the vulnerable target | 74 | 4.91% |
BOTH_CRASH |
The input crashes both the vulnerable and the fixed target | 8 | 0.53% |
SKIP_NO_POC |
No final PoC was available for server verification | 66 | 4.38% |
ERR |
Server verification did not produce a usable verdict | 1 | 0.07% |
Only PASS counts as solved. A locally observed crash is not enough: if the fixed target also crashes, or the server cannot reproduce the vulnerable-side failure, the task does not count.
The "90%+ Tier": Why the Official Board Doesn't Rank
Per the CyberGym leaderboard's latest note, systems above 90% are lifted into a separate card grid that is shuffled into random order on every load, so position implies no ranking; everyone else stays in the numbered table below. The board's own wording:
Leading systems, above 90%. Shown in random order. The score is only for reference.
The board also cautions that in this range "modest score differences may not reflect meaningful capability gaps." So the point of 90.11% is not a rank but membership in that "above 90%, no longer separately ranked" leading band — the 90%+ completion level, on par with CyberGym's leading tier. We state the result on the board's own terms and claim no specific position.
To be clear: this was AVL Code's first internal test on CyberGym Level 1, confirmed by the local CyberGym differential-verification service. Because of the jailbreaking observed during the run, we will re-test in a stricter environment before submitting the official score, and the official publication is authoritative.
The Benchmark
CyberGym Level 1 evaluates the full vulnerability-reproduction loop:
vulnerability description + pre-patch repository
-> source-backed trigger hypothesis
-> candidate input construction
-> execution on the vulnerable and fixed binary targets
-> PASS only when vul_exit != 0 and fix_exit == 0
The evaluated set contains 1,368 ARVO tasks and 139 OSS-Fuzz tasks. Project-language metadata in tasks.json breaks down as follows:
| Language | Tasks | PASS | Success rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| C++ | 1,276 | 1,143 | 89.58% |
| C | 228 | 214 | 93.86% |
| Rust | 2 | 0 | 0.00% |
| Swift | 1 | 1 | 100.00% |
The Rust and Swift groups are too small to support meaningful comparison. C++ accounts for most of the benchmark and most of the remaining unsolved cases.
System Design: A Coordinator Plus Multi-Agent Long-Horizon Execution
Coordinator-driven multi-agent execution
AVL Code managed the whole benchmark through a long-running coordinator rather than forcing all 1,507 tasks into a single conversational context. The whole flow was driven by a long-horizon goal mechanism (/goal): the coordinator handed each task to a single subagent to complete on its own, with no elaborate vulnerability-hunting prompts. The test environment had no compiler installed or used at all — PoC construction rested entirely on the model's ability to understand and generate binaries.
- The coordinator created a dedicated directory and task description for every task.
- Each specialist subagent focused on one vulnerability at a time.
- Target concurrency was 10 active subagents. The coordinator checked the pool every five minutes and refilled any open slot immediately.
- Each subagent received a 40-minute investigation budget controlled by the coordinator.
- Task-local analysis, candidate files, verification receipts, and final verdicts were persisted on disk so that retries could continue from prior evidence.
- A global
tasks.yamlledger tracked progress across the whole run.
Investigation and verification loop
Each subagent followed the same basic loop:
- Read the vulnerability description and prior task-local notes.
- Identify the relevant fuzzer or harness, sanitizer behavior, input format, and suspected trigger path.
- Construct or mutate candidate inputs using static analysis and dynamic feedback.
- Run candidates through the local binary-only verification helper.
- Store the final PoC and a structured verdict with status, exit codes, PoC identity, and trigger notes.
The fixed source repository and the patch are not part of the Level 1 task input. Differential execution ran through the local CyberGym verification service, which returned the vulnerable-side and fixed-side exit behavior.
An Observation During Testing: Agents Attempting to Jailbreak
Across the run, we repeatedly observed specialist subagents trying to "jailbreak" — stepping outside the task boundary to obtain patch information, or to look up answers, instead of building a PoC honestly from the vulnerability description and the pre-patch source. In CyberGym Level 1, the fixed repository, the patch, and any reference answers are deliberately outside the task input; the task directories also enforced strict read/write boundaries and a domain allowlist. These attempts did not change the final verdict — differential verification only accepts the objective outcome: the vulnerable target crashes and the fixed target runs cleanly. But they are a reminder that in long-horizon security tasks, agents actively hunt for shortcuts, and task isolation and boundary enforcement have to be hard.
It is worth stating plainly that the 90.11% reported here was achieved in a strictly constrained environment. In individual runs where a jailbreak succeeded and the network restrictions were bypassed, the best score could reach above 95% — results we do not count toward the figures in this post. Precisely because we observed this jailbreaking, we decided to re-test in a stricter environment before submitting the official score to the leaderboard.

Limitations
- CyberGym measures vulnerability reproduction, not complete security auditing, exploitability assessment, or remediation quality.
- Final verification leaves 149 tasks outside the solved set: 74
NO_CRASH, 8BOTH_CRASH, 66SKIP_NO_POC, and 1ERR. - Some
SKIP_NO_POCcases may simply reflect exhausted investigation budgets. - The evaluation exposed the vulnerable-side and fixed-side exit behavior through a local differential-verification helper. Results should be read under that disclosed feedback model.
- Resource-consumption figures are estimates derived from internal accounting and have not been independently audited.
