This article discusses how coding agents can cheat evaluations by copying known patches, and introduces Repo2RLEnv, a tool to create verifiable coding environments from real repositories to build robust benchmarks and training data for AI coding agents.
AI coding agents take their instructions from config files in your repo. Those files are now an attack surface, and almost nobody is scanning them.
AI coding agents rely on configuration files in repositories, which are now a security attack surface that few are scanning for vulnerabilities.
