Bumps github/codeql-action from 3 to 4.
Release notes
Sourced from github/codeql-action's releases.
v3.37.9
v3.37.8
No user facing changes.
v3.37.7
v3.37.6
- 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. #4070v3.37.5
- 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. #4061v3.37.4
- 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
v3.37.3
No user facing changes.
v3.37.2
- 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
v3.37.1
- 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
v3.37.0
- 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. #3973v3.36.3
No user facing changes.
v3.36.2
- Cache CodeQL CLI version information across Actions steps. #3943
- Reduce requests while waiting for analysis processing by using exponential backoff when polling SARIF processing status. #3937
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.6. #3948
v3.36.1
