[UNRELEASED]

No user facing changes.

4.37.9 - 26 Aug 2026

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.4. #4106

4.37.8 - 21 Aug 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.7 - 13 Aug 2026

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

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.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

4.37.5 - 03 Aug 2026

  • Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026

  • This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository 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 to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in 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

4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

  • The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= 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

Superseded by #92 — and this PR cannot pass CI on its own, which is why it has been sitting here.

github/codeql-action/init, /autobuild, /analyze and /upload-sarif are one action and refuse to run at mixed versions. Dependabot had no group configured for them, so it opened a separate PR per sub-action on 2026-08-31. Merging any one of them leaves codeql.yml half bumped, and CodeQL fails with:

Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.9', but running version '4.37.6'

(run 33384590794, the Analyze (Python) failure visible on this PR).

#92 moves all four references to cdf488f595d80d6e07e03d4674febd5ab45fa938 in one commit, and adds a groups block to .github/dependabot.yml so the same split cannot happen next release. The SHA was checked against the upstream repository rather than taken from the title: the annotated tag v4.37.9 in github/codeql-action resolves to it, and the SHA being replaced resolves to v4.37.6.

Leaving this open until #92 merges, so the bump stays tracked if #92 does not land.

Held by the 2026-09-10 PR merge sweep — the failing check is real, and I re-ran it today to be sure rather than assuming it was the old Actions billing outage. It failed again.

Diagnosed cause. .github/workflows/codeql.yml pins three actions to the same SHA: codeql-action/init, codeql-action/autobuild and codeql-action/analyze, all at v4.37.6. Dependabot opened a separate PR for each one, so this PR moves init to v4.37.9 while the other two stay at v4.37.6 inside the same workflow run. CodeQL requires those to match, so Analyze (Python) fails. Every other check on this PR is green.

Evidence it is the mismatch and not the branch: master's own CodeQL run passed today at 15:51 UTC with all three still at v4.37.6, and PRs #87, #88 and #90 fail identically — one per action.

What clears it. All three need to move to v4.37.9 in one commit. Merging them one at a time does not work cleanly either, because the first merge leaves master itself mismatched until the last one lands. The sweep's scope forbids opening a new PR, so I have not created the combined bump.

The two Dependabot PRs on this repo that were genuinely independent were merged today: #89 (upload-sarif, which lives in scorecard.yml and so has no version partner) and #91 (pydantic). I did not use an admin bypass anywhere here — a failing check is a failing check.
