Release Notes

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

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

• 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

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
