CodeQLcodeql.github.comCodeQL is GitHub's semantic code analysis engine that lets you query code as data to identify vulnerabilities across a codebase. It provides a Visual Studio Code extension and tooling to create CodeQL databases, run queries, and share them to detect patterns across open-source codebases. It is free for research and open source, with licensing terms that restrict automated CI/CD usage to specific cases and require OSI-approved licenses for projects.
