| | Cast between HRESULT and a Boolean type (`cpp/hresult-boolean-conversion`) | external/cwe/cwe-253 | Finds logic errors caused by mistakenly treating the Windows `HRESULT` type as a Boolean instead of testing it with the appropriate macros. Enabled by default. | | ||
| | Setting a DACL to `NULL` in a `SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` (`cpp/unsafe-dacl-security-descriptor`) | external/cwe/cwe-732 | This query finds code that creates world-writable objects on Windows by setting their DACL to `NULL`. Enabled by default. | |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These two queries should have the "security" tag also.

I merged HResultBooleanConversion.qhelp and UnsafeDaclSecurityDescriptor.qhelp in #211 and #212, and I'd like to get docteam reviews for them in this follow-up PR.
I'll open a separate PR for change notes.
