The CyberBinGym thread explains its scoring: a crash isn't an exploit, so two things are scored separately — vulnerability recovery: a PoC that triggers a sanitizer-detected failure in the vulnerable program but not the patched one; and exploitation: an exploit that captures a secret flag from a separate victim service. The latter is the hard measure of real attack capability.
