4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026
• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for theinput for thetoolsstep to be specified using acodeql-action/initrepository 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 togithub-codeql-toolsto always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided fortoolcachein the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts withtools. #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 theinput that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, theconfig-fileprefix 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. #4023remote=
• 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

If omitted,[owner/]repo[@ref][:path]defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for,ownertoref, andmaintopath. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #3973.github/codeql-action.yaml
