Could you build this?

Partial A detection script can be vibe-coded once the vulnerability details are known, but high-fidelity detection with low false positives needs security analysis that the scraped page does not provide.

What it would actually take: The build would start from the CVE advisory and any public proof-of-concept to identify the vulnerable request or version fingerprint. It would then need safe probing logic and tests against vulnerable and patched builds. The hard part is security research to make detections reliable, which requires a vulnerability analyst rather than only a developer.
