PVS-Studio's 2025 updates center on a new C/C++ parser built over a year, now stable for production. The analyzer expanded taint analysis to catch division-by-zero and buffer overruns, while adding support for C23 and C11 standards. For compliance, it now covers 80-85% of MISRA C 2023 with a new reporting feature.

The tool integrated deeply with modern IDEs. Plugins now support Visual Studio 2026, Qt Creator 15-18, and added compilation monitoring to its VS Code extension. Build system support grew with Kotlin DSL for Gradle and analysis for `.slnf`/`.slnx` solution files. Custom JSON annotations were extended to Java and C# analyzers for better context.

Security took center stage, especially for Java. The Java analyzer now covers 9 of 10 OWASP Top 10 2021 categories with 40 new rules. C# gained over 20 Unity-specific diagnostics for performance and API pitfalls. All analyzers were updated for .NET 10 and C# 11, with Linux/macOS requiring the .NET 10 SDK for analysis.
