zkbugs
Direct answerzkbugs is zkSecurity's benchmark and knowledge base of zero-knowledge circuit vulnerabilities (139 catalogued across ZK DSLs), with reproducible cases used to score zk-skills at 66 of 70 in direct mode and 40 of 56 on full codebases. The companion site bugs.zksecurity.xyz is the public ZK bug tracker.

What zkbugs does
It is the only ZK-specific benchmark, and its two modes make the difficulty gap between template-level and repository-level detection visible.
Where it is strong
- Only ZK benchmark.
- Two difficulty modes.
- Public knowledge base.
Limits and caveats
- Circom-heavy.
- Known bugs may be in training data.
When to choose it
Score any ZK tool on it and report both modes.
Who works with zkbugs
Top-listed for benchmark work: zkSecurity
Listed first because it is the only firm on this index whose AI tooling was built for cryptographic and ZK code, with upstream-confirmed critical results (seven CIRCL bugs, OpenVM CVE-2026-46669, four bron-crypto zero-days), an open benchmark and open skills, and explicit human-in-the-loop validation by cryptographers.
