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
- 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
4.37.0 - 08 Jul 2026
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.0. #3995
- In addition to the existing input format, the
config-fileinput for thecodeql-action/initstep will soon support a new[owner/]repo[@ref][:path]format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted,ownerdefaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for,reftomain, andpathto.github/codeql-action.yaml. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #39734.36.3 - 01 Jul 2026
