Could you build this?

Partial A basic scanner that checks versions and file patterns is vibe-codeable, but a reachability analysis that is accurate enough to be useful requires PHP-specific static analysis and access to exact vulnerability details. The core detection logic is the hard piece.

What it would actually take: A high-fidelity version needs a PHP parser (such as nikic/php-parser) and a call-graph or data-flow analysis to determine whether vulnerable sinks are reachable from user input. It also needs accurate, verified indicators for the specific CVEs. Security researchers with PHP internals experience are needed to validate false-positive and false-negative rates.
