CodeQL Action Changelog
See the releases
page for the relevant changes to the CodeQL CLI and language
packs.
[UNRELEASED]
- Add support for SHA-256 Git object IDs. #3893
4.35.5 - 15 May 2026
- 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
4.35.4 - 07 May 2026
4.35.3 - 01 May 2026
- 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
4.35.2 - 15 Apr 2026
- 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
4.35.1 - 27 Mar 2026
4.35.0 - 27 Mar 2026
4.34.1 - 20 Mar 2026
- Downgrade default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3
due to issues with a small percentage of Actions and JavaScript
analyses. #3762
4.34.0 - 20 Mar 2026
