codeql-security-scanning

A set of coding rules for CodeQL security analysis, finding exposed secrets, safe logging, and security checks in GitHub Actions. CodeQL scans source code for patterns that may indicate security problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running security scans on Python and JavaScript or TypeScript code, checking CI workflows, protecting secrets, and sanitizing user or request data before logging it.
Why use it?
It helps catch security issues and unsafe log messages during development and before code is pushed or merged.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 1,338 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

codeql-security-scanning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CodeQL & Security Scanning

CI gates (GitHub Actions)

Workflow Job Command / scope
ci.yml Lint (ruff) ruff check . — must pass before push
ci.yml Python tests pytest tests/test_agents/ tests/test_api/ … with 97% coverage
codeql.yml Analyze (python) security-and-quality query pack + .github/codeql/codeql-config.yml
codeql.yml Analyze (javascript-typescript) Same; scans ui/src/ and extension/

Secret scanning and push protection are enabled on the repo. Dependabot alerts + security updates are on.

Python — log injection (py/log-injection)

Every dynamic value in a logger call must use %s placeholders + sanitize_log_value() — not f-strings or % with raw user/request/exception text:

from utils.logging_config import sanitize_log_value, mask_email

# ✅ Correct
logger.warning("Workflow failed for session %s: %s", sanitize_log_value(session_id), sanitize_log_value(err))
logger.info("Login attempt for %s", mask_email(email))

# ❌ Wrong — CodeQL flags f-string interpolation
logger.warning(f"Workflow failed for session {session_id}: {err}")

Numeric format specifiers: never wrap %d, %f, or %.Nf args with sanitize_log_value() — it returns str and breaks formatting at runtime:

logger.info("Parsed resume (%d bytes)", file_size)           # ✅
logger.info("Parsed resume (%d bytes)", sanitize_log_value(file_size))  # ❌ TypeError

Emails: always mask_email() (GDPR). Emails are not auto-redacted by the formatter.

Defense in depth: JSONFormatter / DevelopmentFormatter in utils/logging_config.py also strip CRLF/null bytes from log message text.

Python — clear-text logging (py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data)

Use mask_email() for emails. API keys, tokens, and passwords must never appear in log messages — the formatter redacts keys matching SENSITIVE_PATTERNS, but explicit mask_email() / sanitize_log_value() at call sites is still required.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

codeql-security-scanning is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository eliornl/rolemule (37 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,338 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
