🗣 Description
Enables code scanning and alerts.
CodeQL scanning does not make PRs.
Once enabled, scan results can be found under the repository's Security Tab.
Scan alert counts are displayed similarly to issue and PR counts.
💭 Motivation and Context
See: https://securitylab.github.com/tools/codeql
See: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3453742/github-makes-codeql-free-for-research-and-open-source.html
CodeQL, a semantic code analysis engine and query tool for finding security vulnerabilities across a codebase, has been made available for free by GitHub for anyone to use in research or to analyze open source code.
CodeQL queries code as if it were data. Developers can use CodeQL to write a query that finds all variants of a vulnerability, and then share that query with other developers. For example, a developer could create a query that mimics a bug class for cross-site scripting, then use that query to find any bug class. CodeQL also can be used to find zero days, variants of critical vulnerabilities, and defects such as buffer overflows or SQL injection issues.
CodeQL was developed several years ago by Semmle, which was acquired by GitHub in September 2019. Prior to making CodeQL available for free for open source code, Semmle provided it as a commercially available service. It is still available under a commercial license for private code repositories.
