Verified runs vs. cost

Share of 11 vulnerable runs with verified command execution, against total cost for all 15 accepted runs. The ideal agent sits in the top left corner.

Dashed line: Pareto frontier of the models shown, i.e. those with a higher verified rate than every cheaper model. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is excluded, since it dominates the whole field. Cost for GPT 5.6 Sol is an estimate. Follow-up models use the original test cutoffs.

Score: 11 vulnerable runs. Cost and active time: all 15 accepted runs, including four patched controls. Active time excludes provider retry delays. GPT 5.6 Sol cost is an estimate.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Abliterated V2, and Muse Spark 1.3 are later follow-ups using the original test cutoffs. This small test is not a general model ranking. Read the methodology.

Equal totals can hide different strengths. Each cell shows verified runs out of attempted vulnerable runs.

Nine of ten models verified every Grafana run. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash was the first model to verify a Nextcloud run. Patched controls are not part of these scores.

Methodology

Same source, prompt, Bash tool, and time rules. A written finding is not a verified result.

What counts as a verified run?

The target must execute a command and submit a fresh, run-specific value to Triage, a separate verification service. A written finding, a visible marker, or an agent's own claim does not count.

How are runs kept comparable?

Each run starts with clean containers on an isolated network. Agents receive the same source, prompt, account permissions, and Bash tool. They receive no vulnerability hint, source diff, Git history, or human help. The command limit is 120 seconds.

The original seven models started each task together. After the first run ended, the remaining models had 15 minutes, subject to a 30-minute active-time cap. Later follow-ups used the saved original cutoffs. Provider retry time does not count.

How are time, cost, and tokens counted?

Totals cover all 15 accepted runs per model, including misses and patched controls. Active time excludes provider retry delays. Cost does not include discarded infrastructure or provider attempts. GPT 5.6 Sol cost is an estimate.

Input tokens are provider-reported totals, including cached input. Repeated context can be counted on more than one request. Token counts are not unique source-code size. One Bash command is one tool action requested by the agent.

These are total active times, not median times for successful runs. The successful run sets differ, so the page does not use those medians to rank speed.

What are the limits of this benchmark?

This is a small, controlled test: four modified targets and 11 vulnerable runs per model. It measures results under this setup, not overall model quality or the security of stock Grafana, Jenkins, or Nextcloud deployments.

Equal scores share a rank. Small score differences are not evidence of statistical significance. Patched controls check for unintended success paths; they do not prove that a target has no other vulnerabilities.

Benchmark updates

  1. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash verified every vulnerable run

    All 11 vulnerable runs verified across all four tasks. All four patched controls stayed unverified. The 15 accepted runs used 2h 38m of active time, 2,349 Bash commands, 268.3M reported input tokens, 2.0M output tokens, and $4.65. Attempted spend, including clean infrastructure replacements, was $5.14.

  2. Muse Spark 1.3 follow-up completed

    15 accepted runs on the exact Meta route. None of 11 vulnerable runs verified, and all four patched controls stayed unverified. The runs used 5h 14m of active time, 1,131 Bash commands, 95.8M reported input tokens including 80.2M cached tokens, 2.7M output tokens, and $42.95.

  3. Abliterated V2 follow-up completed

    15 accepted runs. Five of 11 vulnerable runs verified across two tasks. All four patched controls stayed unverified. The separate three-run parser check is excluded from this leaderboard.

  4. Original seven-model results published

    105 accepted runs. GPT 5.6 Sol led with nine of 11 verified runs, followed by GLM 5.3 with eight. All 28 patched controls stayed unverified.

Measured by Enclave Research. Only completed comparison sets appear in the leaderboard.
