Generate proof-of-concept tests to automatically validate software vulnerabilities and verify security patches using containerized agent environments.

Evaluating AI agents on real-world security tasks requires robust, reproducible environments. We use CyberGym, a specialized benchmark containing 1,507 historical vulnerabilities across 188 software projects, to test whether agents can successfully generate proof-of-concept tests from vulnerability descriptions and pre-patch codebases. This setup forces agents to reason across entire repositories, locate the exact bug, and produce working reproduction scripts. By automating the generation of these proof-of-concept tests, security teams can rapidly verify whether a system is vulnerable or confirm that a newly applied patch successfully mitigates the threat.

### [AI-Assisted WordPress Vulnerability Hunting: From Plugin Code to Verified Findings](https://dallas-fort-worth.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ryp2dvTokTM)

I built a repeatable AI-assisted workflow for finding and validating vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins. In the demo, I’ll show the process end-to-end: selecting a plugin, launching a controlled test environment with a custom harness, then using Codex and a tailored AGENTS.md to scan the source, trace risky execution paths, validate the finding with a proof of concept, and generate a disclosure-ready report.
