PVS-Studio
What it is
PVS-Studio analyzes source code to find bugs and potential vulnerabilities. Its core description covers C, C++, C#, and Java on Windows, Linux, and macOS; the download workflow also lists JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go. The analyzer can flag vulnerable components, passwords in code, Trojan Source, SQL injections, XXE/XEE attacks, and errors in clearing private data. Warnings are classified against CWE, SEI CERT, MISRA, OWASP, and AUTOSAR. Analysis methods include tainted data analysis, intermodular analysis, symbolic execution, data-flow analysis, type inference, and software composition analysis. The installation includes command-line tools, compiler monitoring for C and C++, a report converter, and integrations such as DefectDojo, CodeChecker, and SonarQube. Reports are available in formats including HTML, XML, CSV, TXT, and JSON. PVS-Studio can operate offline for installation, activation, and source analysis. Pricing is available on request. A one-week trial key provides full analyzer access and support from analyzer developers.
