Could you build this?

Partial The CLI and report UI are vibe-codeable, but correctly verifying patch status across distributions that backport fixes requires curated vulnerability and package-changelog data plus security expertise.

What it would actually take: The core is a read-only scanner that inspects PHP binaries and package metadata and maps them to fixed versions. The hard part is an accurate, maintained knowledge base of distro backports and CVE fix fingerprints, which requires security research and ongoing curation by people with domain expertise.
