Bumps github/codeql-action/init from 4.37.1 to 4.37.3.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/init's releases.

v4.37.3

No user facing changes.

v4.37.2

  • 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

[UNRELEASED]

No user facing changes.

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
  • 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

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.

Note

Bump github/codeql-action/init from v4.37.1 to v4.37.3

Updates the CodeQL init action in codeql.yml to commit e4fba86 (v4.37.3). Risk: the Analyze step no longer references github/codeql-action/analyze, meaning CodeQL analysis is not executed.

Macroscope summarized 904881e.

🌐 Web query:

github codeql-action mixed versions init analyze unsupported workflow v4.37.3 v4.37.1

💡 Result:

Mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action within a single GitHub Actions workflow is unsupported and can cause unpredictable results [1][2][3]. GitHub has implemented validation mechanisms to address this issue: - A warning is emitted from the codeql-action/init step if the workflow detects that different versions of the CodeQL Action are being used [1][2]. - An error is thrown by subsequent CodeQL Action steps if they attempt to load a configuration file generated by a different version of the init step [1][2][3]. If you are encountering errors related to version mismatches while using v4.37.1 or v4.37.3, ensure that every reference to the CodeQL Action in your workflow file (e.g., init, analyze, upload-sarif) uses the exact same version tag or reference [4]. It is recommended to use a major version tag (e.g., v4) to ensure all steps consistently use the latest release within that major version [4]. If you must pin to a specific version, verify that all steps in the workflow file are updated to that same version [4]. These checks were introduced in earlier versions of the CodeQL Action (specifically via pull requests #3099 and #3100) to ensure consistency and prevent configuration errors [1][3]. The versions you mentioned (v4.37.1 and v4.37.3) include these validation features [5][6].

Use one CodeQL Action pin for all steps.

Line 36 uses v4.37.1, while Line 29 uses v4.37.3. Mixed CodeQL Action versions are unsupported and can cause configuration-loading errors. Set analyze to the same pin as init.
