Illustration: V3AST-Bench measures coding agent safety through verified execution outcomes.
The authors introduce V3AST-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating the safety of LLM-based coding agents using executable checks over environment states, records, and artifact behavior.

V3AST-Bench contains 212 risk tasks spanning 18 categories and nine risk types, each paired with a capability twin task that preserves the workflow under benign conditions.
