Could you build this?

Partial A signature-based scanner for known CVEs is buildable with AI help, but high fidelity (low false positives across varied PHP codebases) requires deep analysis of the exploit and of PHP execution paths. The detection logic is the hard piece.

What it would actually take: Reliable detection needs a robust PHP parser and a model of the vulnerable deserialization or eval paths, tested against many real-world codebases and frameworks. It also requires exploit-level understanding of the CVEs. Security engineers with PHP internals knowledge are needed to tune accuracy.
