Release Notes

github/codeql-action (github/codeql-action)

v3.37.8

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v3.37.7

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #​4085

v3.37.6

Compare Source

• Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #​4070

v3.37.5

Compare Source

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #​4061

v3.37.4

Compare Source

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with !. #​4037
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #​4051

v3.37.3

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v3.37.2

Compare Source

• The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= prefix can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. #​4023
• The CodeQL Action can now make use of configured private registries in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes out to everyone in July. #​4007

v3.37.1

Compare Source

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.20.6 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 1 July 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.16, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #​3956
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.1. #​4019

v3.37.0

Compare Source

v3.36.3

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v3.36.2

Compare Source

• Cache CodeQL CLI version information across Actions steps. #​3943
• Reduce requests while waiting for analysis processing by using exponential backoff when polling SARIF processing status. #​3937
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.6. #​3948

v3.36.1

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v3.36.0

Compare Source

• Breaking change: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.19.4. #​3894
• Add support for SHA-256 Git object IDs. #​3893
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.5. #​3926

v3.35.5

Compare Source

• We have improved how the JavaScript bundles for the CodeQL Action are generated to avoid duplication across bundles and reduce the size of the repository by around 70%. This should have no effect on the runtime behaviour of the CodeQL Action. #​3899
• For performance and accuracy reasons, improved incremental analysis will now only be enabled on a pull request when diff-informed analysis is also enabled for that run. If diff-informed analysis is unavailable (for example, because the PR diff ranges could not be computed), the action will fall back to a full analysis. #​3791
• If multiple inputs are provided for the GitHub-internal analysis-kinds input, only code-scanning will be enabled. The analysis-kinds input is experimental, for GitHub-internal use only, and may change without notice at any time. #​3892
• Added an experimental change which, when running a Code Scanning analysis for a PR with improved incremental analysis enabled, prefers CodeQL CLI versions that have a cached overlay-base database for the configured languages. This speeds up analysis for a repository when there is not yet a cached overlay-base database for the latest CLI version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in May. #​3880

v3.35.4

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.4. #​3881

v3.35.3

Compare Source

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.19.3 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 9 April 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.15, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #​3837
• Configurations for private registries that use Cloudsmith or GCP OIDC are now accepted. #​3850
• Best-effort connection tests for private registries now use GET requests instead of HEAD for better compatibility with various registry implementations. For NuGet feeds, the test is now always performed against the service index. #​3853
• Fixed a bug where two diagnostics produced within the same millisecond could overwrite each other on disk, causing one of them to be lost. #​3852
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.3. #​3865

v3.35.2

Compare Source

• The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHES environment variable is deprecated and will be removed in May 2026. If you are affected by this, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing the trap-caching: false input to the init Action. #​3795
• The Git version 2.36.0 requirement for improved incremental analysis now only applies to repositories that contain submodules. #​3789
• Python analysis on GHES no longer extracts the standard library, relying instead on models of the standard library. This should result in significantly faster extraction and analysis times, while the effect on alerts should be minimal. #​3794
• Fixed a bug in the validation of OIDC configurations for private registries that was added in CodeQL Action 4.33.0 / 3.33.0. #​3807
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.2. #​3823

v3.35.1

Compare Source

• Fix incorrect minimum required Git version for improved incremental analysis: it should have been 2.36.0, not 2.11.0. #​3781

v3.35.0

Compare Source

• Reduced the minimum Git version required for improved incremental analysis from 2.38.0 to 2.11.0. #​3767
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.1. #​3773

v3.34.1

Compare Source

• Downgrade default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3 due to issues with a small percentage of Actions and JavaScript analyses. #​3762

v3.34.0

Compare Source

• Added an experimental change which disables TRAP caching when improved incremental analysis is enabled, since improved incremental analysis supersedes TRAP caching. This will improve performance and reduce Actions cache usage. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #​3569
• We are rolling out improved incremental analysis to C/C++ analyses that use build mode none. We expect this rollout to be complete by the end of April 2026. #​3584
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.0. #​3585

v3.33.0

Compare Source

• Upcoming change: Starting April 2026, the CodeQL Action will skip collecting file coverage information on pull requests to improve analysis performance. File coverage information will still be computed on non-PR analyses. Pull request analyses will log a warning about this upcoming change. #​3562
  To opt out of this change:
  • Repositories owned by an organization: Create a custom repository property with the name github-codeql-file-coverage-on-prs and the type "True/false", then set this property to true in the repository's settings. For more information, see Managing custom properties for repositories in your organization. Alternatively, if you are using an advanced setup workflow, you can set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.
  • User-owned repositories using default setup: Switch to an advanced setup workflow and set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.
  • User-owned repositories using advanced setup: Set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.
• Fixed a bug which caused the CodeQL Action to fail loading repository properties if a "Multi select" repository property was configured for the repository. #​3557
• The CodeQL Action now loads custom repository properties on GitHub Enterprise Server, enabling the customization of features such as github-codeql-disable-overlay that was previously only available on GitHub.com. #​3559
• Once private package registries can be configured with OIDC-based authentication for organizations, the CodeQL Action will now be able to accept such configurations. #​3563
• Fixed the retry mechanism for database uploads. Previously this would fail with the error "Response body object should not be disturbed or locked". #​3564
• A warning is now emitted if the CodeQL Action detects a repository property whose name suggests that it relates to the CodeQL Action, but which is not one of the properties recognised by the current version of the CodeQL Action. #​3570

v3.32.6

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3. #​3548

v3.32.5

Compare Source

• Repositories owned by an organization can now set up the github-codeql-disable-overlay custom repository property to disable improved incremental analysis for CodeQL. First, create a custom repository property with the name github-codeql-disable-overlay and the type "True/false" in the organization's settings. Then in the repository's settings, set this property to true to disable improved incremental analysis. For more information, see Managing custom properties for repositories in your organization. This feature is not yet available on GitHub Enterprise Server. #​3507
• Added an experimental change so that when improved incremental analysis fails on a runner — potentially due to insufficient disk space — the failure is recorded in the Actions cache so that subsequent runs will automatically skip improved incremental analysis until something changes (e.g. a larger runner is provisioned or a new CodeQL version is released). We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #​3487
• The minimum memory check for improved incremental analysis is now skipped for CodeQL 2.24.3 and later, which has reduced peak RAM usage. #​3515
• Reduced log levels for best-effort private package registry connection check failures to reduce noise from workflow annotations. #​3516
• Added an experimental change which lowers the minimum disk space requirement for improved incremental analysis, enabling it to run on standard GitHub Actions runners. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #​3498
• Added an experimental change which allows the start-proxy action to resolve the CodeQL CLI version from feature flags instead of using the linked CLI bundle version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #​3512
• The previously experimental changes from versions 4.32.3, 4.32.4, 3.32.3 and 3.32.4 are now enabled by default. #​3503, #​3504

v3.32.4

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.2. #​3493
• Added an experimental change which improves how certificates are generated for the authentication proxy that is used by the CodeQL Action in Default Setup when private package registries are configured. This is expected to generate more widely compatible certificates and should have no impact on analyses which are working correctly already. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in February. #​3473
• When the CodeQL Action is run with debugging enabled in Default Setup and private package registries are configured, the "Setup proxy for registries" step will output additional diagnostic information that can be used for troubleshooting. #​3486
• Added a setting which allows the CodeQL Action to enable network debugging for Java programs. This will help GitHub staff support customers with troubleshooting issues in GitHub-managed CodeQL workflows, such as Default Setup. This setting can only be enabled by GitHub staff. #​3485
• Added a setting which enables GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to use a nightly CodeQL CLI release instead of the latest, stable release that is used by default. This will help GitHub staff support customers whose analyses for a given repository or organization require early access to a change in an upcoming CodeQL CLI release. This setting can only be enabled by GitHub staff. #​3484

v3.32.3

Compare Source

• Added experimental support for testing connections to private package registries. This feature is not currently enabled for any analysis. In the future, it may be enabled by default for Default Setup. #​3466

v3.32.2

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.1. #​3460

v3.32.1

Compare Source

• A warning is now shown in Default Setup workflow logs if a private package registry is configured using a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT), but no username is configured. #​3422
• Fixed a bug which caused the CodeQL Action to fail when repository properties cannot successfully be retrieved. #​3421

v3.32.0

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.0. #​3425

v3.31.11

Compare Source

• When running a Default Setup workflow with Actions debugging enabled, the CodeQL Action will now use more unique names when uploading logs from the Dependabot authentication proxy as workflow artifacts. This ensures that the artifact names do not clash between multiple jobs in a build matrix. #​3409
• Improved error handling throughout the CodeQL Action. #​3415
• Added experimental support for automatically excluding generated files from the analysis. This feature is not currently enabled for any analysis. In the future, it may be enabled by default for some GitHub-managed analyses. #​3318
• The changelog extracts that are included with releases of the CodeQL Action are now shorter to avoid duplicated information from appearing in Dependabot PRs. #​3403
