CodeQL Action Changelog

See the releases page for the relevant changes to the CodeQL CLI and language packs.

4.31.0 - 24 Oct 2025

• Bump minimum CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.6. #3223
• When SARIF files are uploaded by the analyze or upload-sarif actions, the CodeQL Action automatically performs post-processing steps to prepare the data for the upload. Previously, these post-processing steps were only performed before an upload took place. We are now changing this so that the post-processing steps will always be performed, even when the SARIF files are not uploaded. This does not change anything for the upload-sarif action. For analyze, this may affect Advanced Setup for CodeQL users who specify a value other than always for the upload input. #3222

4.30.9 - 17 Oct 2025

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.3. #3205
• Experimental: A new setup-codeql action has been added which is similar to init, except it only installs the CodeQL CLI and does not initialize a database. Do not use this in production as it is part of an internal experiment and subject to change at any time. #3204

4.30.8 - 10 Oct 2025

No user facing changes.

4.30.7 - 06 Oct 2025

• [v4+ only] The CodeQL Action now runs on Node.js v24. #3169

3.30.6 - 02 Oct 2025

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.2. #3168

3.30.5 - 26 Sep 2025

• We fixed a bug that was introduced in 3.30.4 with upload-sarif which resulted in files without a .sarif extension not getting uploaded. #3160

3.30.4 - 25 Sep 2025

• We have improved the CodeQL Action's ability to validate that the workflow it is used in does not use different versions of the CodeQL Action for different workflow steps. Mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action in the same workflow is unsupported and can lead to unpredictable results. A warning will now be emitted from the codeql-action/init step if different versions of the CodeQL Action are detected in the workflow file. Additionally, an error will now be thrown by the other CodeQL Action steps if they load a configuration file that was generated by a different version of the codeql-action/init step. #3099 and #3100
• We added support for reducing the size of dependency caches for Java analyses, which will reduce cache usage and speed up workflows. This will be enabled automatically at a later time. #3107
• You can now run the latest CodeQL nightly bundle by passing tools: nightly to the init action. In general, the nightly bundle is unstable and we only recommend running it when directed by GitHub staff. #3130
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.1. #3118

3.30.3 - 10 Sep 2025

No user facing changes.

3.30.2 - 09 Sep 2025

• Fixed a bug which could cause language autodetection to fail. #3084
• Experimental: The quality-queries input that was added in 3.29.2 as part of an internal experiment is now deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming version of the CodeQL Action. It has been superseded by a new analysis-kinds input, which is part of the same internal experiment. Do not use this in production as it is subject to change at any time. #3064
