4.36.3 - 01 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.36.2 - 04 Jun 2026

  • 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

4.36.1 - 02 Jun 2026

No user facing changes.

4.36.0 - 22 May 2026

  • Breaking change: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.19.4. #3894
  • Add support for SHA-256 Git object IDs. #3893
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.5. #3926

4.35.5 - 15 May 2026

  • We have improved how the JavaScript bundles for the CodeQL Action are generated to avoid duplication across bundles and reduce the size of the repository by around 70%. This should have no effect on the runtime behaviour of the CodeQL Action. #3899
  • For performance and accuracy reasons, improved incremental analysis will now only be enabled on a pull request when diff-informed analysis is also enabled for that run. If diff-informed analysis is unavailable (for example, because the PR diff ranges could not be computed), the action will fall back to a full analysis. #3791
  • If multiple inputs are provided for the GitHub-internal analysis-kinds input, only code-scanning will be enabled. The analysis-kinds input is experimental, for GitHub-internal use only, and may change without notice at any time. #3892
  • Added an experimental change which, when running a Code Scanning analysis for a PR with improved incremental analysis enabled, prefers CodeQL CLI versions that have a cached overlay-base database for the configured languages. This speeds up analysis for a repository when there is not yet a cached overlay-base database for the latest CLI version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in May. #3880

4.35.4 - 07 May 2026

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.4. #3881

4.35.3 - 01 May 2026

  • Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.19.3 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 9 April 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.15, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3837
  • Configurations for private registries that use Cloudsmith or GCP OIDC are now accepted. #3850
  • Best-effort connection tests for private registries now use GET requests instead of HEAD for better compatibility with various registry implementations. For NuGet feeds, the test is now always performed against the service index. #3853
  • Fixed a bug where two diagnostics produced within the same millisecond could overwrite each other on disk, causing one of them to be lost. #3852
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.3. #3865

4.35.2 - 15 Apr 2026

  • The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHES environment variable is deprecated and will be removed in May 2026. If you are affected by this, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing the trap-caching: false input to the init Action. #3795

🔍 Only the init step was bumped; analyze step left at old SHA

The PR title/commit message says "bump github/codeql-action/init from 4.36.1 to 4.36.3" which suggests the scope was intentionally limited to just the init action. However, GitHub's own documentation and the CodeQL starter workflow template always pin init and analyze to the same SHA. The analyze step at .github/workflows/codeql.yml:109 still uses @87557b9c84dde89fdd9b10e88954ac2f4248e463. This may have been an oversight from Dependabot or a similar automated tool that only matched the init path. Worth confirming whether this was intentional or if the analyze step should also be bumped.

🟡 CodeQL init and analyze steps use mismatched action versions, risking CI failures

The initialization step is updated to a newer version (github/codeql-action/init@54f647b7e1bb85c95cddabcd46b0c578ec92bc1a at .github/workflows/codeql.yml:76) but the analysis step still references the old version, so the two steps may be incompatible.

Impact: The CodeQL CI workflow may produce errors or inconsistent scan results due to version mismatch between initialization and analysis.

Version mismatch between init and analyze steps

The commit message says this bumps github/codeql-action/init from 4.36.1 to 4.36.3. However, the Perform CodeQL Analysis step at .github/workflows/codeql.yml:109 still uses the old SHA 87557b9c84dde89fdd9b10e88954ac2f4248e463 (4.36.1). The init and analyze actions from the same github/codeql-action repository should always be pinned to the same commit SHA to ensure they are compatible with each other.
