4.37.6 - 04 Aug 2026
- 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.ymlto align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #40704.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026
- Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the
initAction instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #40614.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026
- This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the
toolsinput for thecodeql-action/initstep to be specified using agithub-codeql-toolsrepository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value totoolcacheto always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided fortoolsin the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with!. #4037- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #4051

No user facing changes.
4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026
- The new address format for the
config-fileinput that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, theremote=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
4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026
