Description

Source code can be scanned for common security-related programming mistakes before review or release. This is useful for developers who want a quick first pass over risky patterns in C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, and similar projects.

It is a command-line static analysis tool. Findings are hints, not proof; developers still need to verify each result and use deeper security review for high-risk code.
