Could you build this?

Partial The Apache config rules and request-size limits are simple to script with AI help. However, correct and safe mitigation for a PHP RCE requires security expertise to avoid bypasses and breaking legitimate traffic.

What it would actually take: The toolkit would be Apache mod_security or mod_rewrite rules plus shell scripts to test them. A real version needs an accurate understanding of the vulnerable code path, the exact payload shapes, and how to validate that the mitigations block exploitation without false positives. That calls for security engineering and an authoritative advisory to build against.
