From the article:
Until recently, in our articles we have positioned PVS-Studio as a tool for detecting errors in code. While we almost never regarded PVS-Studio in a security context. We will try to remedy this situation and take a look at the tool in terms of testing of security applications and DevSecOps practices.
For the convenience of specialists who will use PVS-Studio as a SAST tool, the analyzer provides mappings for its warnings to Common Weakness Enumeration, SEI CERT Coding Standards, and also supports MISRA standard (currently in development).
