Bumps github/codeql-action from 4.38.2 to 4.38.3.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action's releases.

v4.38.3

  • Upcoming breaking change: CodeQL version 2.21.2 and earlier were discontinued on 24 September 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.17, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. Added a deprecation warning for customers using these versions of CodeQL. #4188
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.2. #4203
  • Fixed a bug where the decision of whether to use a per-language bundle did not account for custom configurations that reference queries outside of compiled CodeQL packs. This issue was caught during internal testing and did not affect any customer repositories. We will resume the roll out of per-language bundles in the coming weeks. #4184

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CodeQL workflow updates the init and analyze actions from v4.38.2 to v4.38.3. Their configuration remains unchanged.

Changes

CodeQL workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update CodeQL action versions
.github/workflows/codeql.yml
Both CodeQL action steps now use v4.38.3. Their inputs and analysis category are unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other


Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1eb3a

This is a patch update to the CodeQL scanning actions with no configuration changes. The workflow should behave as before with the newer upstream release. Pinning the actions to commit SHAs is a recommended hardening step, but that exposure already existed and does not block this update.

Pin both CodeQL actions to immutable commit SHAs.

The v4.38.3 tags can be moved. If an actor changes a referenced upstream tag, GitHub can run substituted action code in this job, which has security-events: write permission. Pin each action to its verified full commit SHA and retain the version tag in a comment.

ruaan-deysel dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review October 11, 2026 06:28

Dismissed after manual review: the remaining finding is pre-existing repository policy (action SHA pinning) or has been addressed/assessed as non-blocking; all CI checks pass.
