Endor Labs Launches Agentic Code Security Benchmark and Public Leaderboard
Endor Labs announced in a press release the launch of its Agentic Code Security Benchmark, a new evaluation framework designed to measure how securely AI coding agents generate code in real-world conditions. The benchmark extends the SusVibes framework developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and introduces the Agent Security League, a public leaderboard tracking agents' performance on both functional correctness and security.
The benchmark assesses 200 tasks from 108 open-source projects and covers 77 vulnerability classes defined in the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) system. Endor Labs added new test harnesses for agents such as Cursor, implemented anti-cheating safeguards, and automated detection systems to ensure fair evaluation. Results show a significant gap between code functionality and security: while the top-performing agent achieved 84.4% functional correctness, its security correctness reached only 17.3%.
The leaderboard compares various agent and model combinations, including OpenAI Codex with GPT 5.4 and Cursor with Claude Opus 4.6, highlighting that 87% of AI-generated code samples contained at least one security vulnerability. The system will be updated as new agents and models are released, providing developers and security teams with an ongoing reference for evaluating AI coding tools.
This initiative builds on Endor Labs' previous research and products aimed at improving software supply chain security, including its AURI security harness for integrating real-time security context into AI-assisted development workflows.
