CodeQL identifies vulnerabilities by treating code as a database and running QL queries to trace data flow from untrusted sources to dangerous sinks. This allows it to detect complex vulnerability patterns like SQL injection across your entire codebase.
To set up GitHub code scanning, you configure a workflow file in your repository. This Skill validates your security posture via the GitHub API and provides step-by-step guidance to activate code scanning and review community query packs.
The QL query language is a declarative, logic-based language used to query code databases. You write custom queries by defining logical predicates and formulas that extract specific code patterns or data flow paths for vulnerability detection.
GitHub Advanced Security is required to use CodeQL for code scanning on private repositories. This Skill supports learning GitHub Advanced Security integrations, though public repositories on GitHub can utilize code scanning features freely.
CodeQL alerts highlight the specific code paths triggering a vulnerability query. You interpret them by reviewing the query description, the identified data flow path, and the recommended security best practices provided within the alert context.
You can validate repository security configurations before running scans by checking repository features using the GitHub API. This Skill facilitates posture validation to ensure necessary features are activated for effective vulnerability detection.
