Could you build this?

Partial A scanner that checks whether targets are vulnerable to the php2shell CVE is mostly HTTP requests and reporting UI, which vibe coding can produce. The detection logic depends on accurately understanding the vulnerability, which the builder must get from the advisory or research.

What it would actually take: The scanner needs a non-destructive detection technique that correctly identifies vulnerable PHP session configurations without exploiting the target, plus concurrency, a reporting UI, and safe-by-default handling. The hard piece is validating detection accuracy against real vulnerable and patched PHP versions, which requires security expertise and a test lab.
