Note: The CodeQL runner is being deprecated. On GitHub Enterprise Server 3.0 and greater, you can install CodeQL CLI version 2.6.3 to replace CodeQL runner.
For more information, see the CodeQL runner deprecation. For information on migrating to CodeQL CLI, see "Migrating from the CodeQL runner to CodeQL CLI."
Note: Your site administrator must enable 代� �扫描 for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance before you can use this feature. For more information, see "Configuring 代� �扫描 for your appliance."
About the CodeQL runner
The CodeQL runner is a tool you can use to run 代� �扫描 on code that you're processing in a third-party continuous integration (CI) system. 代� �扫描 是一项功能,可用于分析 GitHub 仓库中的代� �,以查找安全漏洞和编� �错误。 分析发现的任何问题都显示在 GitHub Enterprise Server 中。 For information, see "About 代� �扫描 with CodeQL."
Alternatively, you can use GitHub Actions to run 代� �扫描 within GitHub Enterprise Server. For information, see "Setting up 代� �扫描 for a repository."
The CodeQL runner is a command-line tool that runs CodeQL analysis on a checkout of a GitHub repository. You add the runner to your third-party system, then call the runner to analyze code and upload the results to GitHub Enterprise Server. These results are displayed as 代� �扫描 alerts in the repository.
Note:
-
The CodeQL runner is available to customers with an Advanced Security license.
-
The CodeQL runner shouldn't be confused with the CodeQL CLI. The CodeQL CLI is a command-line interface that lets you create CodeQL databases for security research and run CodeQL queries. For more information, see "CodeQL CLI."
Downloading the CodeQL runner
You can download the CodeQL runner from https://HOSTNAME/github/codeql-action/releases. On some operating systems, you may need to change permissions for the downloaded file before you can run it.
On Linux:
chmod +x codeql-runner-linux
On macOS:
chmod +x codeql-runner-macos
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine codeql-runner-macos
On Windows, the codeql-runner-win.exe
file usually requires no change to permissions.
Adding the CodeQL runner to your CI system
Once you download the CodeQL runner and verify that it can be executed, you should make the runner available to each CI server that you intend to use for 代� �扫描. For example, you might configure each server to copy the runner from a central, internal location. Alternatively, you could use the REST API to get the runner directly from GitHub, for example:
wget https://HOSTNAME/github/codeql-action/releases/latest/download/codeql-runner-linux
chmod +x codeql-runner-linux
In addition to this, each CI server also needs:
- A GitHub 应用程序 or personal access token for the CodeQL runner to use. You must use an access token with the
repo
scope, or a GitHub 应用程序 with thesecurity_events
write permission, andmetadata
andcontents
read permissions. For information, see "Building GitHub 应用程序" and "Creating a personal access token." - Access to the CodeQL bundle associated with this release of the CodeQL runner. This package contains queries and libraries needed for CodeQL analysis, plus the CodeQL CLI, which is used internally by the runner. For information, see "CodeQL CLI."
The options for providing access to the CodeQL bundle are:
- Allow the CI servers access to https://HOSTNAME/github/codeql-action so that the CodeQL runner can download the bundle automatically.
- Manually download/extract the bundle, store it with other central resources, and use the
flag to specify the location of the bundle in calls to initialize the CodeQL runner.--codeql-path
Calling the CodeQL runner
You should call the CodeQL runner from the checkout location of the repository you want to analyze. The two main commands are:
init
required to initialize the runner and create a CodeQL database for each language to be analyzed. These databases are populated and analyzed by subsequent commands.analyze
required to populate the CodeQL databases, analyze them, and upload results to GitHub Enterprise Server.
For both commands, you must specify the URL of GitHub Enterprise Server, the repository OWNER/NAME, and the GitHub 应用程序 or personal access token to use for authentication. You also need to specify the location of the CodeQL bundle, unless the CI server has access to download it directly from the github/codeql-action
repository.
You can configure where the CodeQL runner stores the CodeQL bundle for future analysis on a server using the --tools-dir
--temp-dir
To view the command-line reference for the runner, use the -h
flag. For example, to list all commands run: codeql-runner-OS -h
, or to list all the flags available for the init
command run: codeql-runner-OS init -h
(where OS
varies according to the executable that you are using). For more information, see "Configuring 代� �扫描 in your CI system."
注意:
-
SARIF upload supports a maximum of 1000 results per upload. 超过此限制的任何结果均被忽略。 如果工具产生太多结果,则应更新配置,以专注于最重要的规则或查询的结果。
-
For each upload, SARIF upload supports a maximum size of 10 MB for the
gzip
-compressed SARIF file. Any uploads over this limit will be rejected. If your SARIF file is too large because it contains too many results, you should update the configuration to focus on results for the most important rules or queries.
Basic example
This example runs CodeQL analysis on a Linux CI server for the octo-org/example-repo
repository hosted on https://github.example.com
. The process is very simple because the repository contains only languages that can be analyzed by CodeQL directly, without being built (that is, Go, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript).
In this example, the server has access to download the CodeQL bundle directly from the github/codeql-action
repository, so there is no need to use the --codeql-path
flag.
-
Check out the repository to analyze.
-
Move into the directory where the repository is checked out.
-
Initialize the CodeQL runner and create CodeQL databases for the languages detected.
$ /path/to-runner/codeql-runner-linux init --repository octo-org/example-repo --github-url https://github.example.com --github-auth TOKEN
-
填充 CodeQL 数据库、进行分析并将结果上� 到 GitHub Enterprise Server。 结果将出现在仓库的 Security(安全性)选项卡中。

Compiled language example
This example is similar to the previous example, however this time the repository has code in C/C++, C#, or Java. To create a CodeQL database for these languages, the CLI needs to monitor the build. At the end of the initialization process, the runner reports the command you need to set up the environment before building the code. You need to run this command, before calling the normal CI build process, and then running the analyze
command.
-
Check out the repository to analyze.
-
Move into the directory where the repository is checked out.
-
Initialize the CodeQL runner and create CodeQL databases for the languages detected.
$ /path/to-runner/codeql-runner-linux init --repository octo-org/example-repo-2 --github-url https://github.example.com --github-auth TOKEN
-
Source the script generated by the
init
action to set up the environment to monitor the build. Note the leading dot and space in the following code snippet.$ . /srv/checkout/example-repo-2/codeql-runner/codeql-env.sh
-
Build the code. On macOS, you need to prefix the build command with the environment variable
$CODEQL_RUNNER
