ci: bump github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.3 to 4.37.8

[dependabot]

Bumps github/codeql-action/analyze from 4.37.3 to 4.37.8.

Release notes

Sourced from github/codeql-action/analyze's releases.

v4.37.8

No user facing changes.

v4.37.7

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.3. #4085

v4.37.6

• Changed the default filepath for the new remote file address format that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 / 3.37.0 to .github/codeql-config.yml to align it with the suggested path that is used elsewhere. #4070

v4.37.5

• Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the init Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. #4061

v4.37.4

• This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the tools input for the codeql-action/init step to be specified using a github-codeql-tools repository property. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the value to toolcache to always use the CodeQL CLI version that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows, the value provided for tools in the workflow definition always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property starts with !. #4037
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.2. #4051

No user facing changes.

4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026

• The new address format for the config-file input that was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In addition to the format described there, the remote= prefix can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. #4023
• The CodeQL Action can now make use of configured private registries in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes out to everyone in July. #4007

4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.20.6 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 1 July 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.16, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3956
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.1. #4019

4.37.0 - 08 Jul 2026

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.26.0. #3995
• In addition to the existing input format, the config-file input for the codeql-action/init step will soon support a new [owner/]repo[@ref][:path] format. All components except the repository name are optional. If omitted, owner defaults to the same owner as the repository the analysis is running for, ref to main, and path to .github/codeql-action.yaml. Support for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will only be enabled over the coming weeks. #3973

4.36.3 - 01 Jul 2026

Authentic patch bump, but it lands only one of three CodeQL pins and the Analyze job now fails on a version mismatch.

What stood out

• Supply chain — The new pin db488dde resolves to the annotated v4.37.8 tag in github/codeql-action, so the SHA is authentic.
• Partial bump — Only the analyze step moved; init and autobuild stay on the v4.37.3 commit inside the same job.
• CI signal — The Analyze check already fails on this head, so the regression is observable rather than theoretical.
• Inputs and permissions — upload: always and security-events: write remain valid for v4.37.8; nothing else needs changing.

Top issues

• [F-001] CodeQL steps split across two action versions — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:48

Cross-cutting

• [F-001] Single-step action bumps land unpaired (process) — codeql-action is three uses: lines that must move together; nothing groups them.

Improvement opportunities

• [O-001] Pin comments omit the patch version (Optional) — .github/workflows/codeql.yml:48

[wbreza]

[F-001] This bumps analyze to db488dde… (v4.37.8) but leaves the other two CodeQL steps in the same job on e4fba868… (v4.37.3):

• line 40 — github/codeql-action/init@e4fba868…
• line 45 — github/codeql-action/autobuild@e4fba868…

The CodeQL Action requires init, autobuild, and analyze to run the same version within a job. The Analyze check on this head fails with:

Loaded a configuration file for version '4.37.3', but running version '4.37.8'

Analysis stops before SARIF upload, so this branch loses code-scanning coverage entirely rather than degrading quietly.

Fix by moving all three pins to the same commit. Lines 40 and 45 fall outside this hunk and need the same one-line edit:

uses: github/codeql-action/init@db488ddef3bf6cb639b32c2e9a7c0a7ea8271d28 # v4
uses: github/codeql-action/autobuild@db488ddef3bf6cb639b32c2e9a7c0a7ea8271d28 # v4

[wbreza]

[O-001] The pin carries # v4 rather than # v4.37.8. Across this repo's workflows, 84 of 88 pinned-action comments record the full semantic version — the three CodeQL pins are the exception. Recording the patch version makes the pin auditable without resolving the SHA first.

Optional and not required to merge; Dependabot tracks the dependency from the uses expression either way.
