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 ...

Microsoft tapped GitHub's CodeQL to discover whether its source code had been modified in the SolarWinds supply chain attack.

Microsoft has open-sourced CodeQL queries that developers can use to scan source code for malicious implants matching the SolarWinds supply-chain attack.

Microsoft has open sourced the CodeQL queries that it used to identify malicious code implants from the Solorigate attack. CodeQL is an analysis engine used for code inspection, among other things.

Microsoft announced on Thursday that its CodeQL queries, which were used to detect possible compromise in its source code after the Solorigate attacks, are now publicly available at the GitHub ...

CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine that allows users to query code "as if it were data," and it was this tool that allowed the team to find a severe bug in the TIPC module project.

GitHub introduced a new option to set up code scanning for a repository known as "default setup," designed to help developers configure it automatically with just a few clicks.

The tool is powered by CodeQL ---an open-source semantic code analyzer. The scanner can work in real-time as code is entered, so flaws never get to the software's final production version.

One year after acquiring software security scanning specialist Semmle, and following a successful five-month beta process, GitHub is making its CodeQL code scanning capabilities available publicly ...
