Research direction

Start by reviewing the CodeQL alert details alongside the repository's CodeQL workflow and configuration. Compare the analyzer, query, and workflow history around when the alert appeared; done means identifying a documented cause for the new alert despite no file or dependency changes.

Description

awaiting-response

Hi ,

I've been using codeql in my github repository for the past two years to review code. There is a file that has existed in the repository for the same duration without ever triggering a codeql alert. However, yesterday i suddenly received an alert for that file.

What could have caused this new alert to appear despite no recent changes to that file or its dependencies?

Thanks,
Subh
