Summary
AI agents show strong performance in automated vulnerability patching, but current evaluations often only test if a patch prevents a specific crash. PatchBench highlights risks that agents might replicate past patches or create superficial fixes that do not fully resolve vulnerabilities.

What happened
AI agents have recently demonstrated strong performance in automated vulnerability patching. However, existing evaluations often validate a patch only by testing whether the provided Proof-of-Concept (PoC) input still triggers a crash. This leaves two key threats to validity: agents may reproduce memorized...
