Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating CodeQL's current Kotlin 2.4.10 support and reviewing how the available 2.4.20-RC is adopted; done means CodeQL supports the newer Kotlin version and no longer depends on the vulnerable release.

Description

question

Kotlin 2.4.20 is very close to release. Please do NOT wait until that day to update CodeQL. Use the available 2.4.20-RC today to adopt CodeQL, please.

As there is a security problem with Kotlin 2.4.10, we need to update quickly and cannot wait another month for CodeQL to adopt.

Thanks!
