- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.11.3. #1348
- Update the ML-powered additional query pack for JavaScript to version 0.4.0. #1351
- The
rb/weak-cryptographic-algorithm
Ruby query has been updated to no longer report uses of hash functions such asMD5
andSHA1
even if they are known to be weak. These hash algorithms are used very often in non-sensitive contexts, making the query too imprecise in practice. For more information, see the corresponding change in the github/codeql repository. #1344
- Improve the error message when using CodeQL bundle version 2.7.2 and earlier in a workflow that runs on a runner image such as
ubuntu-22.04
that uses glibc version 2.34 and later. #1334
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.11.2. #1320
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.11.1. #1294
- Replace uses of GitHub Actions command
set-output
because it is now deprecated. See more information in the GitHub Changelog. #1301
- We are rolling out a feature of the CodeQL Action in October 2022 that changes the way that Go code is analyzed to be more consistent with other compiled languages like C/C++, C#, and Java. You do not need to alter your code scanning workflows. If you encounter any problems, please file an issue or open a private ticket with GitHub Support and request an escalation to engineering.
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.11.0. #1267
- We will soon be rolling out a feature of the CodeQL Action that stores some information used to make future runs faster in the GitHub Actions cache. Initially, this will only be enabled on JavaScript repositories, but we plan to add more languages to this soon. The new feature can be disabled by passing the
trap-caching: false
option to your workflow'sinit
step, for example if you are already using the GitHub Actions cache for a different purpose and are near the storage limit for it. - Add support for Python automatic dependency installation with Poetry 1.2 #1258.
No user facing changes.
- Allow CodeQL packs to be downloaded from GitHub Enterprise Server instances, using the new
registries
input for theinit
action. #1221 - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.5. #1240
- Downloading CodeQL packs has been moved to the
init
step. Previously, CodeQL packs were downloaded during theanalyze
step. #1218 - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.4. #1224
- The newly released Poetry 1.2 is not yet supported. In the most common case where the CodeQL Action is automatically installing Python dependencies, it will continue to install and use Poetry 1.1 on its own. However, in certain cases such as with self-hosted runners, you may need to ensure Poetry 1.1 is installed yourself.
- Improve error messages when the code scanning configuration file includes an invalid
queries
block or an invalidquery-filters
block. #1208 - Fix a bug where Go build tracing could fail on Windows. #1209
No user facing changes.
- Add the ability to filter queries from a code scanning run by using the
query-filters
option in the code scanning configuration file. #1098 - In debug mode, debug artifacts are now uploaded even if a step in the Actions workflow fails. #1159
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.3. #1178
- The combination of python2 and Pipenv is no longer supported. #1181
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.2. #1156
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.1. #1143
- You can now quickly debug a job that uses the CodeQL Action by re-running the job from the GitHub UI and selecting the "Enable debug logging" option. #1132
- You can now see diagnostic messages produced by the analysis in the logs of the
analyze
Action by enabling debug mode. To enable debug mode, passdebug: true
to theinit
Action, or enable step debug logging. This feature is available for CodeQL CLI version 2.10.0 and later. #1133
- CodeQL query packs listed in the
packs
configuration field will be skipped if their target language is not being analyzed in the current Actions job. Previously, this would throw an error. #1116 - The combination of python2 and poetry is no longer supported. See actions/setup-python#374 for more details. #1124
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.10.0. #1123

- When
wait-for-processing
is enabled, the workflow will now fail if there were any errors that occurred during processing of the analysis results.
- Add
working-directory
input to theautobuild
action. #1024 - The
analyze
andupload-sarif
actions will now wait up to 2 minutes for processing to complete after they have uploaded the results so they can report any processing errors that occurred. This behavior can be disabled by setting thewait-for-processing
action input to"false"

- Fix a bug where the CLR traces can continue tracing even after tracing should be stopped. #938
- Due to potential issues for GHES 3.1–3.3 customers who are using recent versions of the CodeQL Action via GHES Connect, the CodeQL Action now uses Node.js v12 rather than Node.js v16. #937
- The CodeQL CLI versions up to and including version 2.4.4 are not compatible with the CodeQL Action 1.1.1 and later. The Action will emit an error if it detects that it is being used by an incompatible version of the CLI. #931
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.8.1. #925
- The CodeQL Action now uses Node.js v16. #909
- Beware that the CodeQL build tracer in this release (and in all earlier releases) is incompatible with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022. This incompatibility affects database extraction for compiled languages: cpp, csharp, go, and java. As a result, analyzing these languages with the
windows-latest
orwindows-2022
Actions virtual environments is currently unsupported. If you use any of these languages, please use thewindows-2019
Actions virtual environment or otherwise avoid these specific Windows versions until a new release fixes this incompatibility.
