OpenAI releases EVMbench for smart contract security

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

OpenAI has introduced EVMbench, a benchmark measuring how well AI agents can detect, exploit, and patch high-severity smart contract vulnerabilities. The benchmark tests three capabilities: vulnerability detection in real-world contract code, exploitation in realistic attack scenarios, and safe patching with fixes that hold up under testing.

What changed

OpenAI frames EVMbench as both a measurement tool and a call to action, arguing that as AI agents improve, developers and security researchers should incorporate AI-assisted auditing into their workflows. The release signals OpenAI's interest in AI applications for security: a domain where the same capabilities that enable helpful automation also create potential risks.
