CodeQL
Libraries and queries that power security researchers
...Instead of just pattern matching text, CodeQL ingests source code, builds rich representations of structure and data flow, and allows queries that reason about control flow, type systems, and interprocedural relationships. This makes it powerful not just for basic linting but for deep detection of complex security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and taint propagation that traditional static analyzers can miss. CodeQL is used by security teams, developers, and open-source tooling to create reusable query libraries, enforce policy across repositories, and automate findings in CI/CD pipelines.
