## What This Project Does



# CodeQL



This open source project contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power [GitHub Advanced Security](https://github.com/features/security/code) and the other application security products that [GitHub](https://github.com/features/security/) makes available to its customers worldwide.



## How do I learn CodeQL and run queries?



There is extensive documentation about the [CodeQL language](https://codeql.github.com/docs/), writing CodeQL using the [CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-for-vs-code/) and using the [CodeQL CLI](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-cli).



## Contributing



We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md). You can also consult our [style guides](https://github.com/github/codeql/tree/main/docs) to learn how to format your code for consistency and clarity, how to write query metadata, and how to write query help documentation for your query.



For information on contributing to CodeQL documentation, see the "[contributing guide](docs/codeql/CONTRIBUTING.md)" for docs.



## License



The code in this project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE) by [GitHub](https://github.com).



The CodeQL CLI (including the CodeQL engine) is hosted in a [different project](https://github.com/github/codeql-cli-binaries) and is [licensed separately](https://github.com/github/codeql-cli-binaries/blob/main/LICENSE.md). If you'd like to use the CodeQL CLI to analyze closed-source code, you will need a separate commercial license; please [contact us](https://github.com/enterprise/contact) for further help.



## Visual Studio Code integration



If you use Visual Studio Code to work in this project, there are a few integration features to make development easier.



### CodeQL for Visual Studio Code



You can install the [CodeQL for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.vscode-codeql) extension to get syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and code navigation for the QL language, as well as unit test support for testing CodeQL libraries and queries.



### Tasks



The `.vscode/tasks.json` file defines custom tasks specific to working in this project. To invoke one of these tasks, select the `Terminal | Run Task...` menu option, and then select the desired task from the dropdown. You can also invoke the `Tasks: Run Task` command from the command palette.

## Installation



No installation section was found in the upstream readme, so the commands below are generated from the manifests detected in this project directory.



```sh

cargo build --release

```



Overlay install (this project):



```sh

python -m pip install -e anticloud/     # overlay package with the 12 improvements

python anticloud/cli.py --help          # 13 subcommands, JSON stdout

```



---



## Usage



No usage section was found in the upstream readme. Entry points detected in this project directory:



```sh

cargo run --release

```



Anticloud overlay CLI (available in every project):



```sh

python anticloud/cli.py --help     # 13 subcommands, JSON stdout

python anticloud/cli.py checks     # run the 16-check suite

```



---



## API



The upstream API surface is defined by the `CODEQL` source tree vendored in `UPSTREAM_CLONE/` (Rust / Cargo ecosystem). Public entry points:

- Source modules: `actions/`, `change-notes/`, `config/`, `cpp/`
- The snapshot declares 1 dependency references across 1 ecosystem(s); see Dependencies below.
- Overlay API: `anticloud/cli.py` exposes 13 subcommands with JSON stdout; `anticloud/bench/runner.py` runs the 16-check suite; `anticloud/provenance/chain.py` exposes the SHA3-256 + Ed25519 provenance chain.

## Contributing

*Excerpt from upstream `CONTRIBUTING.md`:*

# Contributing to CodeQL

We welcome contributions to our CodeQL libraries and queries. Got an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Contributions to this project are [released](https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/#6-contributions-under-project-license) to the public under the [project's open source license](LICENSE).

There is lots of useful documentation to help you write queries, ranging from information about query file structure to tutorials for specific target languages. For more information on the documentation available, see [CodeQL queries](https://codeql.github.com/docs/writing-codeql-queries/codeql-queries) on [codeql.github.com](https://codeql.github.com).

Note that the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code documentation has been migrated to https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-for-vs-code/, but you can still contribute to it via a different project. For more information, see [Contributing to GitHub Docs documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing)."

## Change notes

Any nontrivial user-visible change to a query pack or library pack should have a change note. For details on how to add a change note for your change, see [this guide](docs/change-notes.md).

## Submitting a new experimental query

If you have an idea for a query that you would like to share with other CodeQL users, please open a pull request to add it to this project. New queries start out in a `<language>/ql/src/experimental` directory, to which they can be merged when they meet the following requirements.

1. **Directory structure**

    There are ten language-specific query directories in this project:


      * Actions: `actions/ql/src`
      * C/C++: `cpp/ql/src`
      * C#: `csharp/ql/src`
      * Go: `go/ql/src`
      * Java/Kotlin: `java/ql/src`
      * JavaScript: `javascript/ql/src`
      * Python: `python/ql/src`
      * Ruby: `ruby/ql/src`
      * Rust: `rust/ql/src`
      * Swift: `swift/ql/src`

    Each language-specific directory contains further subdirectories that group queries based on their `@tags` or purpose.

    - Experimental queries and libraries are stored in the `experimental` subdirectory within each language-specific directory in the [CodeQL project](https://github.com/github/codeql). For example, experimental Java queries and libraries are stored in `java/ql/src/experimental` and any corresponding tests in `java/ql/test/experimental`.

 


Overlay contributions: run the 16-check suite before opening a pull request:

```sh

python anticloud/bench/runner.py --cwd anticloud

```

**Overall: 16/16 checks passing.**

See `ISOLATED_LAB_RESULTS/03_Result_Register.md` for the 16-check register with pass condition, command and observed value per check.

Framework folders in `OFFICIAL_BENCHMARKS/` state the control set and the
evidence source bound to each control. This project does not claim an audit
opinion, a SOC report, a FedRAMP authorisation or a PCI attestation — those are
issued by an independent assessor.
