CodeQL
A semantic code analysis engine developed by GitHub that converts codebases into queryable relational databases. Users write SQL-like queries to detect security vulnerability patterns spanning multiple functions and files. CodeQL is classified as a static analysis tool and is used for identifying complex, cross-boundary code defects.
Timeline (last 90 days)
v0.22.3 adds CodeQL security scanning for Python and Actions, and enables Python Dependabot along with a release cool-down period.
v3.23.0 upgrades dependencies pyright (1.1.413 to 1.1.414), astral-sh/setup-uv (10.0.1 to 10.1.0), and CodeQL actions to 4.38.1.
CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine that GitHub acquired after purchasing Semmle in 2019.
CodeQL falls under the category of static analysis and can scan large-scale codebases without executing the program, but it has blind spots for vulnerabilities that are only triggered under specific runtime states.
Autofix is a feature within GitHub Advanced Security that uses large language models to automatically generate fix suggestions for security vulnerabilities discovered by CodeQL scans.
