FuzzingBrain-Bench evaluates a model’s bug-discovery capability on an open-source project at a vulnerable revision. Each challenge provides the project source and a sanitizer-instrumented harness, but no description, fault class, location, patch, or fix commit. The model generates candidate inputs, and its performance is measured by the distinct crash signatures it triggers through the harness, including crashes beyond the vulnerability originally associated with the challenge.
The first two generations do not execute code. The third introduces harness execution, but three design choices still limit how faithfully it measures bug-discovery capability.
Predefined target. Existing benchmarks ask whether a model can reproduce one known vulnerability without revealing its details. A valid crash at another location is discarded, so the benchmark measures target reproduction rather than broader bug discovery.
Patch-dependent grading. To identify the target vulnerability, some benchmarks compare vulnerable and patched builds. The verdict therefore depends on the correctness and completeness of a developer-provided patch, which can cause valid results to be misclassified.
Harness correctness. Existing benchmarks do not consistently exclude faults that originate in the harness itself. Counting a harness failure as a project-level finding can distort the model’s measured performance.
Together, these limitations can prevent existing benchmarks from accurately reflecting a model’s bug-discovery capability. We designed FuzzingBrain-Bench to score distinct, reproducible crashes beyond a predefined target, grade only the vulnerable build without relying on a patch, and exclude crashes that originate in the harness.
How a run is wired
A run is split between the host and the container. The agent loop lives on the host and holds your model key; everything the model can touch lives in the container and is reached through three MCP tools.
The three tools it can call
There is no read_file, no write_file and no list_directory. exec is the whole filesystem, the way it would be in a real audit.
Tool
What it does
setup
Called first. Returns the public facts: workspace and source paths, project name and language, and the harness configuration — type, entrypoint, argv, sanitizer.
exec
Runs a shell command in the source root, with no network access. This is the model’s only filesystem access: read with cat, write with a heredoc or base64 -d, list with ls and find. Returns stdout, stderr, exit code and duration.
run_poc_on_harness
Runs one candidate input through the harness, like a fuzzer on a single input. Returns the raw harness output — stdout, stderr, exit code, signal. It does not return a pass/fail verdict; the model reads the sanitizer report itself.
What counts as a crash
Because the goal is to find many crashes rather than one predefined one, the benchmark needs a way to say when two crashes are the same crash. Every fault that survives the repeatability check is reduced to a signature.
The signature
Fault class, then the function names of the top three application frames, joined by |.
The fault class is read off the sanitizer’s SUMMARY line, not the ERROR line — the latter carries addresses and sizes that change from run to run.
A frame is named by its function alone. No file path, no line number, no module offset: those move with every rebuild of a target, function names do not.
Frames that are not the target are dropped — the sanitizer runtime and its allocator interceptors, the libFuzzer driver, the C runtime entry, system libraries, C++ standard-library headers, and the Jazzer harness wrapper.
Names are normalised: parameter lists, template arguments and Rust instantiation hashes are stripped. Namespaces and class names are kept.
Worked example · ghidra-01
The harness output returned to Claude Opus 4.8 on turn 20. Frames #1–#3 are the three application frames that make up the signature above; everything else is dropped as allocator, system-library or runtime-entry noise.

Crashes and bugs are not the same thing
The benchmark reports distinct crashes, treated as a proxy for the number of bugs — never as a claim about the number of defects.
One bug → several crashes
A signature is built from the faulting function and its two callers, so reaching the same defect along a different call path is recorded as a separate crash. The same defect reported under a different fault class — a blown stack is reported as whichever signal actually killed the process — is a separate crash too.
Several bugs → one crash
A frame is named by its function alone, so two faults at different lines of the same function collapse into one crash. That floor is deliberate: line numbers and offsets move with every rebuild, function names do not.
Before a crash counts
Two gates stand between a faulting input and a point on the board: it has to be reproducible, and it has to be new.
1 · Reproducible
Every candidate is executed against the harness three times, not once. It counts only if all three executions fault and all three yield the same signature.
flaky_rounds — it faulted in some rounds but not all.
flaky_location — it faulted every round, but in a different place each time.
Neither counts, and neither is recorded among the signatures the episode has seen. A crash that cannot be reproduced must not be allowed to reserve a signature, or it would block a later, deterministic input from claiming the same finding. A single execution cannot separate a genuine defect from a race, an ASLR-dependent overflow or an allocator coincidence.
2 · New
The grader keeps the set of canonical signatures already produced during this episode. A reproducible crash is looked up in it:
new — absent, so it is inserted and the episode’s distinct-crash count goes up.
duplicate — already present, and nothing changes.
The model learns immediately whether the input it just submitted added a finding, which is what lets it turn away from a crash it already holds and look for another one. The set lives in the memory of a container that serves exactly one episode, so nothing is shared between episodes and no run is ever aware of signatures produced in another run.
A crash whose output carries no marker a signature can be derived from is assigned a common fallback identity, and counts once per episode.
How a model is scored
A challenge every model can crash and a challenge no model can crash should not be worth the same, so each carries a difficulty coefficient D between 1 and 5.
score = Σc ∈ challenges min(3, sigc) · Dc
sigc is the number of distinct crash signatures the model produced on challenge c; Dc is that challenge’s difficulty coefficient.
The cap of 3 is the anti-inflation rule. Distinct signatures can still point at a single defect, so one challenge that yields eight signatures for one underlying bug must not outweigh the rest of the corpus.
The cap lives only in the scoring. Difficulty coefficients are derived from raw, uncapped counts — capping both would apply the correction twice.
The denominator is run-scoped. A seven-challenge run is scored out of those seven, so a partial sweep reports a real fraction. Two runs over different challenge sets are not comparable.
A challenge added after the coefficients were frozen has no D and is reported unscored, never scored zero.
Over the full 77-challenge corpus the ceiling is 579 points — what a model would score by producing at least three distinct crash signatures on every single challenge. That is an arithmetic maximum, not a demonstrated one. Nothing guarantees every challenge can yield three distinct signatures through its harness, so 579 should be read as the top of the scale rather than a score any model is known to be able to reach.
Run it in five minutes
Only Docker and a model key are needed. No build, no answer key, nothing to download but the challenge image.
The agent arms drive a full coding-agent CLI through the same bench MCP server, so the model plans, runs its own tools, and iterates. These are the runs behind the agent leaderboard.

The corpus
77 challenges drawn from 43 open-source projects. Each one is cut from a commit carrying a confirmed vulnerability — 67 found by the FuzzingBrain Cyber Reasoning System, 10 drawn from OSS-Fuzz reports.

Difficulty
Each challenge carries a coefficient D from 1 to 5. It is measured once from a fixed three-model panel over all 77 challenges, and then frozen.
Why frozen. A run must not derive the scale it is scored on, and silently recomputing the coefficients would move every score already quoted against them. The panel is Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.8, and D is read off two facts: how much of the panel crashed the challenge at all, and how freely it gave crashes up to whoever did. Classification uses raw, uncapped signature counts — the cap of 3 lives only in the scoring, and applying it here as well would apply the same correction twice.

The scale is intentionally top-heavy. D4 and D5 hold 24 challenges but 327 of the 579 points, which is most of why the scores below look low. For the current corpus and panel size that is the right trade: it separates a challenge with an easily triggered bug from one that poses a real problem, and it means a future model that cracks a D5 challenge earns five times what it would for adding another crash to a D1.
This rule is fit for a three-model panel. As the corpus and the number of supported models grow, a purely count-based rule will stop separating challenges well, and we intend to replace it with a coefficient derived from overall model performance on a public reference leaderboard.

The 1–5 badge is the frozen difficulty coefficient. The 13 5 challenges are the hard tail: confirmed vulnerabilities that no panel model has crashed even once.
What gets crashed, and where
Challenges crashed at least once, broken out by tier and by language. For the three panel models — Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.8 — the D1 and D5 columns are true by construction, since those tiers are defined by all three crashing it or none doing so, so the signal is in the middle bands. Opus 5 was not part of the panel, so none of its cells are fixed in advance.
Challenges crashed, by difficulty tier
Each cell is challenges crashed of that tier; deeper colour = a larger share of the tier cleared.

The tiers were fixed from the original three-model panel — Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.8 — and D5 means precisely that none of those three crashed the challenge. Within that panel the field separates in D3 and D4: Opus 4.8 crashes 9 of 11 in each; Sonnet drops to 6 and then 2; Haiku manages 2 in D3 and clears nothing above it. Opus 5, which was not part of the panel, clears every challenge in D1 through D4 and crashes 6 of the 13 D5 challenges — the first crashing inputs produced for that tier.
Points scored, by difficulty tier
The same runs as points, after the cap of 3. Sonnet actually out-earns Opus on the easy floor — 66 to 58 in D1, 48 to 42 in D2 — and loses the benchmark in D3 and D4, where Opus takes 96 points to Sonnet’s 42.

Cell shade is the share of that tier’s available points taken. The D5 column was zero for all three panel models — 195 of the 579 points that nothing had touched. Opus 5 takes 35 of them, still under a fifth of the tier.
Challenges crashed, by language
JVM challenges are mostly uncaught exceptions a single malformed field triggers, and all three panel models clear most of them. C is the hardest floor: it holds 10 of the 13 D5 challenges, and six of the seven that Opus 5 still could not crash.

One full-scan pass per model over all 77 challenges, scored by difficulty-weighted distinct crashes. No model is told what the bug is, and an episode does not stop at the first crash — it keeps hunting until the turn or time budget runs out.

How the score works. A model earns min(3, sigc) · Dc on each challenge c, where sigc is the distinct crash signatures it produced and Dc is the frozen difficulty coefficient. Summed over the 77 challenges, the ceiling is 579.
579 is a ceiling, not a target. It assumes three distinct crash signatures on every one of the 77 challenges, and we have no evidence that this is reachable — some challenges may simply not admit three distinct signatures through their harness. Claude Opus 5 crashed 70 of 77 challenges but reached the cap of three on only 37 of them, finding exactly one signature on 22. Scores should therefore be read against each other, not as a percentage of something known to be attainable.

Four Anthropic models, run on a single workstation (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 cores / 22 threads, 32 GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04.2, Docker 28.0.4). Summed over the corpus the sweeps account for 18.4, 10.5, 22.3 and 5.5 hours of agent-loop time for Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Sonnet and Haiku. Per-episode throughput does not degrade with concurrency, so at eight parallel jobs a full 77-challenge run projects to roughly 2.3, 1.3, 2.8 and 0.7 hours per model. Further models are being added.
Knowing when to stop is part of the task
Opus 4.8 wins among the panel models and still leaves the easy floor to Sonnet; the turn budget explains most of it. Opus 5 takes both the top and the floor.

Both Opus generations stop early — half their episodes end by turn 51 and 49 respectively, despite a prompt asking them to search as thoroughly as they can. Sonnet and Haiku almost always spend the whole budget. For Opus 4.8 that voluntary exit is the most plausible reason it is out-earned on D1 and D2, where more turns simply mean more shallow crashes. Opus 5 complicates that reading: it stops even earlier and still tops both tiers, so early exit alone does not decide the easy floor.
The cap of 3, removed
Scoring every signature instead of at most three per challenge. The ordering does not change, but the gap widens — which is exactly what the cap is there to hold back.

Uncapped, Opus 5 gains 106.21% over its capped 338, Opus 4.8 33.16% over 196, Sonnet 30.77% over 156, and Haiku 12.07% over 58. Exposure to the cap tracks capability, and Opus 5 is exposed far beyond the rest: it more than doubles. That is the cap doing its job — a model returning 64 signatures on one challenge, as Opus 5 does on libavif-01, is most likely reaching one defect many ways rather than finding 64 defects.

Both Opus generations climb with difficulty, terminating early on challenges they crack quickly and spending the whole budget on the ones they cannot. Opus 5 starts higher and stays higher at every tier. For the other two, cost is nearly flat — they use the full budget almost everywhere.

Tokens expose a ratio that cost conceals: input exceeds output by roughly two orders of magnitude — 83:1 for Opus 5, 84:1 for Opus 4.8, 143:1 for Sonnet, 188:1 for Haiku. Input here is the whole prompt, cached tokens included. Sonnet’s counts fall as difficulty rises, which does not mean it tries less: it makes more tool calls and writes fewer tokens, shifting from long input construction on easy challenges to short recon commands on hard ones. Both Opus generations run the other way, spending more as difficulty rises: Opus 4.8 climbs from 0.83 M on D1 to 3.67 M on D5, Opus 5 from 2.44 M to 5.22 M. Opus 5 starts far higher on the easy tiers and reaches the largest prompts of any model on D5.

Both Opus generations run longer as difficulty rises, Opus 5 from 724 s on D1 to 1139 s on D5; Sonnet’s get shorter, tracking its falling output-token count. Haiku is flat throughout.
Where this leaves things
The best model in the original panel, Claude Opus 4.8, produced a crashing input for 60 of 77 challenges and took about a third of the points available. Thirteen challenges with confirmed vulnerabilities were not crashed by any of the three, and those thirteen define the D5 tier.
Claude Opus 5 moves that line substantially: 70 of 77 challenges crashed and 338 of 579 points, including the first crashes recorded against D5. It clears D1 through D4 completely, and every one of its seven remaining failures is a D5 challenge. The shape of the result is unchanged even so — it reached the three-signature cap on 37 challenges and found a single signature on 22, so the gap to 579 is as much about how many distinct signatures a harness will yield as about which bugs a model can reach.
