Could you build this?
Partial Scanning code and connected services for leaked keys and open Supabase or Firebase rules is doable with existing tools like gitleaks and API checks. Reliable CVE matching and low-false-positive findings for a security product need real security expertise.
What it would actually take: Architecture would be a local CLI or desktop app that runs secret detection (regex and entropy, as in gitleaks or trufflehog), dependency analysis against NVD/OSV, and read-only probes for misconfigured database rules. The hard part is accurate, low-noise detection and safe read-only testing across many frameworks, which requires security engineers who understand exploitability and can limit false positives and liability.
