A WordPress plugin that scans your own site for injected-script malware: fake ClickFix verification boxes, EtherHiding blockchain loaders, web shells, PHP hidden in uploads, new administrators and changed core files. The scan is read-only and sends no site files anywhere. A filter strips known loader scripts from your pages, and a Content-Security-Policy starts in report-only mode until its log is clean.

Could you build this?
Partial A read-only WordPress scanner that checks core-file hashes, admin accounts, and uploads is buildable. Reliably detecting novel injected malware such as EtherHiding and ClickFix variants depends on continuously updated threat signatures and research.
What it would actually take: Build a PHP plugin that hashes WordPress core files against official checksums, scans uploads and themes with regex and heuristic rules, and checks for unexpected admins. The hard part is maintaining a current malware signature corpus and reducing false positives, which needs malware-research expertise and a threat-intelligence feed.
