4.38.0 - 09 Sept 2026

  • On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. #4124
  • The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native linux-arm64 CodeQL bundle when available. #4072
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. #4129

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

GitHub CodeQL Action same version init autobuild analyze requirement v4.38.0 bundle toolcache cleanup

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
GitHub CodeQL Action version v4.38.0 was released in September 2026 [1]. Key updates and requirements regarding your query are summarized below: Toolcache Cleanup In v4.38.0, the CodeQL Action introduced automatic cleanup of unused CodeQL bundles from the runner&#39;s toolcache [1]. When running on GitHub-hosted runners, the Action now deletes existing (unused) CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different version, effectively freeing up disk space for the analysis [1]. This behavior is handled automatically by the Action and does not require manual configuration [1]. Action Requirements (Init, Autobuild, Analyze) - Consistent Versions: You must use the same version of the CodeQL Action across all steps (init, autobuild, and analyze) within a single workflow [2]. Mixing different versions of the Action in the same workflow is unsupported and will trigger warnings or errors [2]. - Setup: - The init step initializes the CodeQL tools and sets up the analysis environment [3][4]. - The autobuild step (or build-mode: autobuild in init) is used for compiled languages to automatically build the source code [5][4]. - The analyze step finalizes the database, performs the analysis, and uploads the results [4]. - Tooling Input: By default, the Action uses the recommended version of the CodeQL bundle [3]. You can override this using the tools input [3]. Supported values include a local path, a URL to a release asset, or the toolcache value, which directs the Action to use a version already present in the runner&#39;s toolcache [3][6]. The use of tools: toolcache is now a supported feature [7]. Recommendation For advanced setups, it is recommended to reference the CodeQL Action using a major version tag (e.g., v4) in your workflow file [8]. This ensures your workflow automatically receives the latest updates, including bug fixes, new features, and the automatic toolcache cleanup introduced in v4.38.0 [1][8].

<title>github/codeql-action v4.38.0 on GitHub</title> https://newreleases.io/project/github/github/codeql-action/release/v4.38.0 github/codeql-action v4.38.0 on GitHub v4.38.0 18 hours ago - On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. `#4124` - The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native `linux-arm64` CodeQL bundle when available. `#4072` - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. `#4129` <title>Result 2</title> https://code.jaenis.ch/actions/codeql-action/raw/branch/releases/v4/CHANGELOG.md - In addition to the existing input format, the `config-file` input for the `codeql-action/init` step will soon support a new `[owner/]repo[`@ref`][:path]` format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted, `owner` defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for, `ref` to `main`, and `path` to `.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. [`#3973`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3973) ... - 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`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3795) ... - Experimental: A new `setup-codeql` action has been added which is similar to `init`, except it only installs the CodeQL CLI and does not initialize a database. Do not use this in production as it is part of an internal experiment and subject to change at any time. [`#3204`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3204) ... - We have improved the CodeQL Action&`#39`;s ability to validate that the workflow it is used in does not use different versions of the CodeQL Action for different workflow steps. Mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action in the same workflow is unsupported and can lead to unpredictable results. A warning will now be emitted from the `codeql-action/init` step if different versions of the CodeQL Action are detected in the workflow file. Additionally, an error will now be thrown by the other CodeQL Action steps if they load a configuration file that was generated by a different version of the `codeql-action/init` step. [`#3099`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3099) and [`#3100`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3100) ... - You can now run the latest CodeQL nightly bundle by passing `tools: nightly` to the `init` action. In general, the nightly bundle is unstable and we only recommend running it when directed by GitHub staff. [`#3130`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3130) ... - The `cleanup-level` input to the `analyze` Action is now deprecated. The CodeQL Action has written a limited amount of intermediate results to the database since version 2.2.5, and now automatically manages cleanup. [`#2999`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2999) - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.22.3. [`#3000`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3000) ... - We are rolling out a change in December 2024 that will extract the CodeQL bundle directly to the toolcache to improve performance. [`#2631`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2631) - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.20.0. [`#2636`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2636) ... - Improve the reliability and performance of analyzing code when analyzing a compiled language with the `autobuild` [build mode](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/creating-an-advanced-setup-for-code-scanning/codeql-code-scanning-for-compiled-languages#codeql-build-modes) on GitHub Enterprise Server. This feature is already available to GitHub.com users. [`#2353`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2353) - Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.18.0. [`#2364`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2364) ... - The init Action will attempt to clean up the database cluster directory before creating a new database and at the end of the job. This will help to avoid issues where the database cluster directory is left in an inconsistent state. [`#2332`](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2332) ... - We are rolling out a feature in May ... June 2 ... that will reduce the Actions cache ... of the Action by ... TRAP cache for each language.

Update the init and analyze action pins as well.

The workflow uses init and analyze at v4.37.8 while autobuild uses v4.38.0. Mixed CodeQL Action versions are unsupported. The v4.37.8 init step selects the older default CodeQL bundle, so this workflow does not receive v4.38.0's default bundle, toolcache cleanup, or Linux Arm64 changes.

Pin all three CodeQL Action steps to the v4.38.0 commit:

autobuild step, keeping all three CodeQL Action steps on one consistent pinned
version.
