Description

We should create a new detection for the vulnerability that was patched in the Phoenix 1.3.5, 1.4.18, 1.5.14, and 1.6.14 releases - this could be done somewhat similarly to how Vuln.Ecto works with some conditional logic for checking if wildcard origin is present.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing Vuln.Ecto implementation for conditional logic patterns. Then adapt it to check for wildcard origin in Phoenix configuration.
