0.8.3

No user-facing changes.

0.8.2

No user-facing changes.

0.8.1

Minor Analysis Improvements

The contents of .jsp files are now extracted, and any <script> tags inside these files will be parsed as JavaScript.
Import attributes are now supported in JavaScript code. Note that import attributes are an evolution of an earlier proposal called "import assertions", which were implemented in TypeScript 4.5. The QL library includes new predicates named getImportAttributes() that should be used in favor of the now deprecated getImportAssertion(); in addition, the getImportAttributes() method of the DynamicImportExpr has been renamed to getImportOptions().
Deleted the deprecated getAnImmediateUse, getAUse, getARhs, and getAValueReachingRhs predicates from the API::Node class.
Deleted the deprecated mayReferToParameter predicate from DataFlow::Node.
Deleted the deprecated getStaticMethod and getAStaticMethod predicates from DataFlow::ClassNode.
Deleted the deprecated isLibaryFile predicate from ClassifyFiles.qll, use isLibraryFile instead.
Deleted many library models that were build on the AST. Use the new models that are build on the dataflow library instead.
Deleted the deprecated semmle.javascript.security.performance folder, use semmle.javascript.security.regexp instead.
Tagged template literals have been added to DataFlow::CallNode. This allows the analysis to find flow into functions called with a tagged template literal, and the arguments to a tagged template literal are part of the API-graph in ApiGraphs.qll.

Deleted the deprecated definitionReaches, localDefinitionReaches, getAPseudoDefinitionInput, nextDefAfter, and localDefinitionOverwrites predicates from DefUse.qll.
Updated the following JavaScript sink kind names. Any custom data extensions that use these sink kinds will need to be updated accordingly in order to continue working.
- command-line-injection to command-injection
- credentials[kind] to credentials-kind
Added a support of sub modules in node_modules.

0.6.2

Minor Analysis Improvements

Improved the queries for injection vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions workflows (js/actions/command-injection and js/actions/pull-request-target) and the associated library semmle.javascript.Actions. These now support steps defined in composite actions, in addition to steps defined in Actions workflow files. It supports more potentially untrusted input values. Additionally to the shell injections it now also detects injections in actions/github-script. It also detects simple injections from user controlled ${{ env.name }}. Additionally to the yml extension now it also supports workflows with the yaml extension.

0.6.1

Major Analysis Improvements

The Yaml.qll library was moved into a shared library pack named codeql/yaml to make it possible for other languages to re-use it. This change should be backwards compatible for existing JavaScript queries.

Deleted the deprecated getEventName predicate from the SocketIO::ReceiveNode, SocketIO::SendNode, SocketIOClient::SendNode classes.
Deleted the deprecated RateLimitedRouteHandlerExpr and RouteHandlerExpressionWithRateLimiter classes.
Import assertions are now supported. Previously this feature was only supported in TypeScript code, but is now supported for plain JavaScript as well and is also accessible in the AST.

0.5.0

Breaking Changes

The CryptographicOperation concept has been changed to use a range pattern. This is a breaking change and existing implementations of CryptographicOperation will need to be updated in order to compile. These implementations can be updated by:
1. Extending CryptographicOperation::Range rather than CryptographicOperation
2. Renaming the getInput() member predicate as getAnInput()
3. Implementing the BlockMode getBlockMode() member predicate. The implementation for this can be none() if the operation is a hashing operation or an encryption operation using a stream cipher.

0.4.3

Minor Analysis Improvements

Deleted all the deprecated [QueryName].qll files from the javascript/ql/lib/semmle/javascript/security/dataflow folder, use the corresponding [QueryName]Query.qll files instead.
The ReDoS libraries in semmle.code.javascript.security.regexp has been moved to a shared pack inside the shared/ folder, and the previous location has been deprecated.

0.3.2

No user-facing changes.

0.3.1

Minor Analysis Improvements

Several of the SQL and NoSQL library models have improved, leading to more results for the js/sql-injection query, and in some cases the js/missing-rate-limiting query.

0.3.0

Breaking Changes

Many library models have been rewritten to use dataflow nodes instead of the AST. The types of some classes have been changed, and these changes may break existing code. Other classes and predicates have been renamed, in these cases the old name is still available as a deprecated feature.
The basetype of the following list of classes has changed from an expression to a dataflow node, and thus code using these classes might break. The fix to these breakages is usually to use asExpr() to get an expression from a dataflow node, or to use .flow() to get a dataflow node from an expression.
