Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web wrapper that accepts a zip file is easy, but reliably auditing PHP code with 125 rules requires building or configuring an advanced PHP Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) static analysis engine.
What it would actually take: The backend needs a secure sandbox to unpack untrusted WordPress plugins and run static application security testing (SAST) engines like PHP_CodeSniffer with WordPress-Coding-Standards (WPCS), Psalm, or custom Semgrep rulesets. The core challenge is tuning the AST analyzers to avoid false positives while accurately tracing taint propagation and SQL/XSS vulnerabilities in legacy PHP code.
