The report
A model can refuse an unsafe instruction in one setting and still complete a tightly scaffolded offensive task in another. In the BypassGym study, five coding-agent backends each received prepared offensive resources, evaluation tools and feedback while developing loaders for selected endpoint-defense products. The authors counted 71 passing submissions out of 90 combinations, with a pass requiring the controlled payload to execute and achieve the specified test effects.
The denominator matters
The main grid paired five model configurations with six products and three payload families, one run per combination. DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash passed 17 of 18 cells, while Qwen3.7 Plus passed 10 of 18. Windows Defender passed all 15 tested cells and Bitdefender passed only five of 15. The study used a defined VM setup, product builds, starting templates and feedback budget; it did not randomly sample enterprise configurations or show that these systems would fail under a live organization's policies.
Of 71 successful submissions, 50 relied on a signed executable and DLL loading route supplied or made available in the test workflow. This matters because success was a product of the model, its harness, the supplied materials and the evaluation environment. Seven submissions reached success after a failed endpoint test and revision, so a first-try success rate is not interchangeable with the final 78.9% figure. The Case dossier preserves those distinctions.
The delayed replay of previously successful artifacts asks a different question: whether signatures caught them after time for updates. It does not change the original count of 90 attempted configurations. There was no identified victim, stolen data or criminal campaign. The defensible conclusion is that the tested development loop produced working evasive artifacts, not that any specific enterprise endpoint is unprotected.
