Just build it into an FPGA. Make it simple enough to verify. Done.

"Everything has vulnerabilities!" - Bullshit. Connect your Ethernet MII to a decoder that sets an LED if a certain pattern comes by. Can you hack it, to make it turn on when it isn't supposed to, with crafted network packets alone?

Nope! Perfect security.
