Researchers have developed a new evaluation protocol for AI pentesting agents that moves beyond simplified benchmarks to assess real-world vulnerability discovery. This protocol incorporates structured ground-truth, LLM-based semantic matching, and methods to handle ambiguity and stochasticity for more operationally relevant comparisons. The team has also released the code and expert-annotated ground truth to ensure reproducibility. AI
