We are hosting the inaugural Cyber Reasoning Challenge at CSAW (CRC@CSAW 2026), a student competition on autonomous vulnerability discovery and repair. Teams build cyber reasoning systems that find vulnerabilities in real software, demonstrate them with a proof of vulnerability, and generate patches that fix the bugs while preserving program functionality. See the official CSAW event page for registration and competition details, and the CRC@CSAW GitHub repository for technical resources and updates.
