# RemoteExploitBench (N-day remote exploitation) (RemoteExploitBench)

> OpenAI's benchmark of whether a model can build a working exploit for a known vulnerability and use it against a remote target, on real applications such as GitLab, PostgreSQL and Jenkins deployed in a controlled environment.

## About RemoteExploitBench

- Year: 2026
- Tasks: Known (N-day) vulnerabilities in deployed applications such as GitLab, PostgreSQL and Jenkins
- Format: N-day target success rate
- Difficulty: Remote exploit development
- Paper: [GPT-6 Cyber: Advancing the frontier of aligned cybersecurity agents](https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-6-cyber/)

OpenAI introduced RemoteExploitBench with GPT-6 Cyber on November 5, 2026 and reports N-day target success: GPT-6 Cyber 94.7%, with its only failure an exploit it could not get to work remotely. GPT-6 Astra refused every task with Daybreak Blue or standard safeguards, so its 0% measures refusal rather than capability and BenchLM does not store it. OpenAI ran every result and has not released the task set, so the benchmark is display-only.

RemoteExploitBench is currently displayed on BenchLM for reference, but it is excluded from the weighted scoring formula.
