[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/upload-sarif from 4.37.3 to 4.38.2.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/upload-sarif's releases.

v4.38.2

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.1. #4160

v4.38.1

• The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #4146

v4.38.0

• 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

v4.37.9

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.4. #4106

v4.37.8

No user facing changes.

v4.37.7

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

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

v4.37.4

• 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

Walkthrough

Dependabot bumps github/codeql-action/upload-sarif in .github/workflows/scorecard.yml from v4.37.3 (e4fba868…) to v4.38.2 (2892aa5e…). The action is pinned by commit SHA with a # v4.38.2 tag comment — the new SHA is the head commit of the upstream v4.38.2 release (confirmed against the release notes in the PR body), so the pin is intact and not floating.

This is a single-line change to one step (Upload to code-scanning) in the Scorecard supply-chain workflow. The step's contract (sarif_file: results.sarif) and the job's permissions (security-events: write, id-token: write, with top-level permissions: read-all) are unchanged. The upload-sarif action is GitHub-maintained (first-party), and the v4.37.3 → v4.38.2 range only ships CodeQL bundle version updates and internal runner/toolcache improvements — no input/output or permission changes that affect how SARIF is uploaded to the code-scanning dashboard.

Assessment

• Routine patch/minor bump within the same major (4.x) of a first-party GitHub Action; behavior of upload-sarif is unchanged across this range.
• SHA pinning is preserved (commit SHA + version comment), the correct supply-chain posture and consistent with the other pinned actions in this workflow (harden-runner, checkout, scorecard-action, upload-artifact).
• No permissions are widened, no new inputs/outputs, no new secrets or token scopes. No CI/supply-chain, security-control, or compatibility concerns introduced.

Verdict: APPROVE — clean routine Dependabot bump; no findings.
