 For a while now there has been [https://github.com/wp-cli/checksum-command
 a WP-CLI command] to verify the current installation's integrity by
 comparing checksums. This makes it easy to detect suspicious modifications
 to core files and even plugins (if the plugin is hosted on WordPress.org)

 I think Site Health would be a good place to possibly add such a checksum
 verification to WordPress core itself.

 If a user is presented with a warning that core files have been modified,
 they could be offered the opportunity to re-install WordPress (just like
 you can do under Dashboard -> Updates)
