Could you build this?

Partial The CLI harness and LLM invocation wrappers can be vibe-coded, but the underlying static analysis, AST vulnerability modeling, and safe sandboxed execution engine require deep application security knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building an effective security scanner requires language-specific AST parsers, taint analysis frameworks (e.g., Tree-sitter or Semgrep rule engines), and an agentic orchestrator that creates reproduction test cases. It also requires an isolated container sandbox (like Docker or Firecracker microVMs) to safely run untrusted code payloads and verify vulnerabilities. Deep domain expertise in offensive application security and program analysis is essential to avoid extreme false-positive rates.
