Bumps the codeql-action group with 2 updates: github/codeql-action/init and github/codeql-action/analyze.

Updates github/codeql-action/init from 4.37.4 to 4.37.6

Release notes

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

v4.37.6

  • 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

v4.37.5

  • 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
Changelog

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

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
  • 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

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge. Reviewed August 7, 2026, 2:38 PM ET / 18:38 UTC.

ClawSweeper review

What this changes

The PR updates the pinned CodeQL initialization and analysis actions in the repository’s security-scanning workflow from v4.37.4 to v4.37.6.

Merge readiness

Blocked by patch quality or review findings - 4 items remain

Keep open: current main still pins CodeQL v4.37.4, so this focused v4.37.6 update remains useful, pending the normal maintainer trust decision for newly executed upstream action code.

Priority: P3
Reviewed head: a08c83dbbe07667c0bced52f3e71e194ba32d35e
Owner decision: Required. See Decision needed.

Review scores

Measure Result What it means
Overall readiness 🧂 unranked krab (1/6) PR readiness rating was derived from proof quality, review findings, security review, and reviewer confidence.
Proof confidence 🌊 off-meta tidepool Not applicable: Real behavior proof is not required for maintainer- or bot-authored pull requests.

Verification

Check Result Evidence
Real behavior Not applicable Not applicable: Real behavior proof is not required for maintainer- or bot-authored pull requests.
Evidence reviewed 5 items Current main remains on v4.37.4: Both CodeQL steps on current main use the v4.37.4 immutable action commit, so the requested update has not already landed.
Focused PR patch: The PR changes only the two CodeQL action pins, from v4.37.4 to the immutable v4.37.6 commit.
Prior workflow-update provenance: The current CodeQL pin was introduced by the prior merged security-actions refresh; its commit credits Peter Steinberger as co-author alongside Dependabot.
Findings None None.
Security Needs attention Verify the updated CodeQL action revision: Both workflow steps move to a new upstream action commit that executes in CI; validate its provenance before accepting the supply-chain change.

How this fits together

GitHub Actions runs the repository’s CodeQL workflow on source changes. The pinned CodeQL actions obtain the scanning toolchain and upload security-analysis results to GitHub.

Decision needed

Question Recommendation
Should crawlkit accept github/codeql-action commit 5595ccaf912efad79be6eef63a5619ff05969be3 for its CodeQL workflow? Accept the verified update: Approve the v4.37.6 immutable action revision after checking its upstream provenance and release notes.

Why: The patch is mechanically narrow, but it changes third-party code executed within the repository security workflow.

Before merge

  • Resolve security concern: Verify the updated CodeQL action revision - Both workflow steps move to a new upstream action commit that executes in CI; validate its provenance before accepting the supply-chain change.
  • Resolve merge risk (P1) - Merging replaces third-party action code executed by a workflow with security-events write permission; passing checks do not settle the upstream-action trust decision.
  • Improve patch quality - Resolve the security review concern or explain why the changed path is safe.

Findings

  • [medium] Verify the updated CodeQL action revision — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:25
Agent review details

Security

Needs attention: The diff changes third-party action code executed by a workflow with security-event upload permission, requiring normal maintainer supply-chain approval.

Review metrics

Metric Value Why it matters
Workflow pins 2 changed, 0 added, 0 removed The PR is limited to the init and analyze CodeQL revisions in one workflow.

Merge-risk options

Maintainer options:

  1. Verify and accept the new action revision (recommended)
    Review the v4.37.6 upstream source and release provenance, then merge if the repository accepts that third-party workflow code.
  2. Hold the current CodeQL pin
    Pause this PR if the new upstream action revision has not received the repository’s normal supply-chain approval.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Verify the upstream v4.37.6 release provenance and merge the two immutable pin updates only if the workflow code owner accepts that supply-chain change.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Not applicable: this PR updates CI action pins rather than reporting a user-facing bug; the supplied checks show the proposed workflow completed successfully.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes: updating both CodeQL steps to one immutable upstream release commit is the narrowest maintainable update, subject to maintainer supply-chain approval.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

Workflow

  • ClawSweeper keeps one durable marker-backed review comment per issue or PR.
  • Re-runs edit this comment so the latest verdict, findings, and automation markers stay together instead of adding duplicate bot comments.
  • A fresh review can be triggered by eligible @clawsweeper re-review comments, exact-item GitHub events, scheduled/background review runs, or manual workflow dispatch.
  • PR/issue authors and users with repository write access can comment @clawsweeper re-review or @clawsweeper re-run on an open PR or issue to request a fresh review only.
  • Maintainers can also comment @clawsweeper review to request a fresh review only.
  • Fresh-review commands do not start repair, autofix, rebase, CI repair, or automerge.
  • Maintainer-only repair and merge flows require explicit commands such as @clawsweeper autofix, @clawsweeper automerge, @clawsweeper fix ci, or @clawsweeper address review.
  • Maintainers can comment @clawsweeper explain to ask for more context, or @clawsweeper stop to stop active automation.
