GitHub Enhances CodeQL with Rust Security and Multi-Language Improvements
GitHub's CodeQL 2.23.2 update marks a significant leap in static analysis capabilities, with targeted enhancements for Rust security and cross-language accuracy. The introduction of non-HTTPS URL detection in Rust addresses critical interception vulnerabilities, while JavaScript/TypeScript improvements now track GraphQL data FLOW with expanded AWS SDK support.
Python developers gain refined taint tracking through global variables, enabling precise analysis of complex nested structures. These advancements underscore GitHub's commitment to proactive security measures across the developer ecosystem, though no direct cryptocurrency implications are evident in this release.
