XBOW Validation Benchmarks
Not in model cards
Offensive security agents attack deliberately vulnerable web applications and must capture a flag to prove each exploit.
About 750 GitHub stars, and pentest agent makers still quote scores on it. XBOW itself says the set was saturated by mid-2026 and the bugs are in training data.
- Level
- Expert Specialists with years of training, often over hours of work
- Scored
- Checked automatically A program checks the result against an answer key, unit tests or the expected final state.
- Answers
- Agent task Many steps in a terminal, browser, desktop, app, game or robot.
