Release Notes

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

v4.38.2

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.1. #​4160

v4.38.1

Compare Source

• The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #​4146

v4.38.0

Compare Source

• On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. #​4124
• The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native linux-arm64 CodeQL bundle when available. #​4072
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. #​4129

v4.37.9

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.4. #​4106

v4.37.8

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v4.37.7

Compare Source

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

v4.37.6

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

v4.37.5

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

v4.37.4

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

v4.37.3

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v4.37.2

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

v4.37.1

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

v4.37.0

Compare Source

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.0. #​3995
• In addition to the existing input format, the config-file input for the codeql-action/init step will soon support a new [owner/]repo[@ref][:path] format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted, owner defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for, ref to main, and path to .github/codeql-action.yaml. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #​3973

v4.36.3

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v4.36.2

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

v4.36.1

Compare Source

No user facing changes.

v4.36.0

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

v4.35.5

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

v4.35.4

Compare Source

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

v4.35.3

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

v4.35.2

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
