With cppcheck 2.3 and HEAD I'm getting occurrences of this message.

arrayIndexOutOfBounds: Array 'string[5]' accessed at index 255, which is out of bounds.

These do not occur with cppcheck 2.2. As far as I can see in my code base this is a false positive. Has there been changes in how this check is implemented after version 2.2?

Could you provide a minimal code example?
