SonarQube for IDE: Visual Studio Code v3.14 brings Security Hotspots reporting in your IDE, plus new rules for C++ users.

A Security Hotspot highlights a security-sensitive piece of code requiring developer review.

*Available for users of SonarQube Server (min version 9.7) in connected mode to SonarQube for IDE.
