Add CodeQL Analysis workflow #346

Closed jhutchings1 closed 4 years ago

jhutchings1 commented 4 years ago

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs CodeQL on every push, and on a daily schedule.

Code scanning looks for vulnerabilities, such as XSS, SQL injection, etc., in your code. If it finds any new vulnerabilities it surfaces them in the PR as check annotations, and blocks the build until they’re fixed or marked as false positives. If it finds any on the repo’s default branch it displays them in the security tab.

For now you also need to be feature flagged to see results in the security tab (as well as having write permission on this repo) - if you drop an email to jhutchings1@github.com I can get anyone you need added.

Finally, this is an early access program, so please don't share screenshots/tweet about this before May 6th when we're unveiling it at GitHub Satellite.
