About CodeQL packs
==================
.. include:: ../reusables/beta-note-package-management.rst
CodeQL packs are used to create, share, depend on, and run CodeQL queries and libraries. You can publish your own CodeQL packs and download packs created by others. CodeQL packs contain queries, library files, query suites, and metadata.
There are two types of CodeQL packs: query packs and library packs.
* Query packs are designed to be run. When a query pack is published, the bundle includes all the transitive dependencies and a compilation cache. This ensures consistent and efficient execution of the queries in the pack.
* Library packs are designed to be used by query packs (or other library packs) and do not contain queries themselves. The libraries are not compiled and there is no compilation cache included when the pack is published.
You can use the package management commands in the CodeQL CLI to create CodeQL packs, add dependencies to packs, and install or update dependencies. For more information, see ":ref:`Creating and working with CodeQL packs <creating-and-working-with-codeql-packs>`." You can also publish and download CodeQL packs using the CodeQL CLI. For more information, see ":doc:`Publishing and using CodeQL packs <publishing-and-using-codeql-packs>`."
CodeQL pack structure
---------------------
A CodeQL pack must contain a file called ``qlpack.yml`` in its root directory. In the ``qlpack.yml`` file, the ``name:`` field must have a value that follows the format of ``<scope>/<pack>``, where ``<scope>`` is the GitHub organization or user account that the pack will be published to and ``<pack>`` is the name of the pack. The other
files and directories within the pack should be logically organized. For example, typically:
- Queries are organized into directories for specific categories.
- Queries for specific products, libraries, and frameworks are organized into
their own top-level directories.
About ``qlpack.yml`` files
--------------------------
When executing query-related commands, CodeQL first looks in siblings of the installation directory (and their subdirectories) for ``qlpack.yml`` files.
Then it checks the package cache for CodeQL packs which have been downloaded. This means that when you are developing queries locally, the local packages
in the installation directory override packages of the same name in the package cache, so that you can test your local changes.
The metadata in each `qlpack.yml`` file tells
CodeQL how to compile any queries in the pack, what libraries the pack depends on, and where to
find query suite definitions.
The contents of the CodeQL pack (queries or libraries used in CodeQL analysis) is
included in the same directory as ``qlpack.yml``, or its subdirectories.
The location of ``qlpack.yml`` defines the library path for the content
of the CodeQL pack. That is, for all ``.ql`` and ``.qll`` files in the pack,
CodeQL will resolve all import statements relative to the ``qlpack.yml`` at the
pack's root.

It must be unique as CodeQL cannot differentiate between CodeQL packs with identical names. Name components cannot start or end with a hyphen. Additionally, a period is not allowed in pack names at all. Use the pack name to specify queries to run using ``database analyze`` and to define dependencies between QL packs (see examples below).

- Optional for test packs
- The path to a directory within the pack that contains tests, defined relative to the pack directory. Use ``.`` to specify the whole pack. Any queries in this directory are run as tests when ``test run`` is run with the ``--strict-test-discovery`` option. These queries are ignored by query suite definitions that use ``queries`` or ``qlpack`` instructions to ask for all queries in a particular pack.

Creating and working with CodeQL packs
======================================
You can use CodeQL packs to create, share, depend on, and run CodeQL queries and libraries.
.. include:: ../reusables/beta-note-package-management.rst
About CodeQL packs and the CodeQL CLI
-------------------------------------
With CodeQL packs and the package management commands in the CodeQL CLI, you can publish your custom queries and integrate them into your codebase analysis.
There are two types of CodeQL packs: query packs and library packs.
* Query packs are designed to be run. When a query pack is published, the bundle includes all the transitive dependencies and a compilation cache. This ensures consistent and efficient execution of the queries in the pack.
* Library packs are designed to be used by query packs (or other library packs) and do not contain queries themselves. The libraries are not compiled and there is no compilation cache included when the pack is published.
You can use the ``pack`` command in the CodeQL CLI to create CodeQL packs, add dependencies to packs, and install or update dependencies. You can also publish and download CodeQL packs using the ``pack`` command. For more information, see ":doc:`Publishing and using CodeQL packs <publishing-and-using-codeql-packs>`."
Creating a CodeQL pack
----------------------
You can create a CodeQL pack by running the following command from the checkout root of your project:
::
codeql pack init <scope>/<pack>
You must specify:
- ``<scope>``: the name of the GitHub organization or user account that you will publish to.
- ``<pack>``: the name for the pack that you are creating.
The ``codeql pack init`` command creates the directory structure and configuration files for a CodeQL pack. By default, the command creates a query pack. If you want to create a library pack, you must edit the ``qlpack.yml`` file to explicitly declare the file as a library pack by including the ``library:true`` property.
Modifying an existing QL pack to create a CodeQL pack
-----------------------------------------------------
If you already have a ``qlpack.yml`` file, you can edit it manually to convert it into a CodeQL pack.
#. Edit the ``name`` property so that it matches the format ``<scope>/<name>``, where ``<scope>`` is the name of the GitHub organization or user account that you will publish to.
#. In the ``qlpack.yml`` file, include a ``version`` property with a semver identifier, as well as an optional ``dependencies`` block.
For more information about the properties, see ":ref:`About CodeQL packs <about-codeql-packs>`."
Adding and installing dependencies to a CodeQL pack
---------------------------------------------------
You can add dependencies on CodeQL packs using the command ``codeql pack add``. You must specify the scope, name, and version range.
::
codeql pack add <scope>/<name>@x.x.x <scope>/<other-name>
The version range is optional. If you leave off the version range, the latest version will be added. Otherwise, the latest version that satisfies the requested range will be added.
This command updates the ``qlpack.yml`` file with the requested dependencies and downloads them into the package cache. Please note that this command will reformat the file and remove all comments.
You can also manually edit the ``qlpack.yml`` file to include dependencies and install the dependencies with the command:
::
codeql pack install
This command downloads all dependencies to the shared cache on the local disk.
.. pull-quote::
Note
Running the ``codeql pack add`` and ``codeql pack install`` commands will generate or update the ``qlpack.lock.yml`` file. This file should be checked-in to version control. The ``qlpack.lock.yml`` file contains the precise version numbers used by the pack.

Publishing and using CodeQL packs
=================================
You can publish your own CodeQL packs and use packs published by other people.
.. include:: ../reusables/beta-note-package-management.rst
Configuring the ``qlpack.yml`` file before publishing
-----------------------------------------------------
You can check and modify the configuration details of your CodeQL pack prior to publishing. Open the ``qlpack.yml`` file in your preferred text editor.
.. code-block:: none
library: # set to true if the pack is a library. Set to false or omit for a query pack
name: <scope>/<pack>
version: <x.x.x>
description: <Description to publish with the package>
default-suite: # optional, one or more queries in the pack to run by default
- query: <relative-path>/query-file>.ql
default-suite-file: default-queries.qls # optional, a pointer to a query-suite in this pack
license: # optional, the license under which the pack is published
dependencies: # map from CodeQL pack name to version range
- ``name:`` must follow the <scope>/<pack> format, where <scope> is the GitHub organization that you will publish to and <pack> is the name for the pack.
- A maximum of one of ``default-suite`` or ``default-suite-file`` is allowed. These are two different ways to define a default query suite to be run, the first by specifying queries directly in the `qlpack.yml` file and the second by specifying a query suite in the pack.
Running ``codeql pack publish``
-------------------------------
When you are ready to publish a pack to the GitHub Container registry, you can run the following command in the root of the pack directory:
::
codeql pack publish
The published package will be displayed in the packages section of GitHub organization specified by the scope in the ``qlpack.yml`` file.
Running ``codeql pack download <scope>/<pack>``
-----------------------------------------------
To run a pack that someone else has created, you must first download it by running the following command:
::
codeql pack download <scope>/<pack>@x.x.x
- ``<scope>``: the name of the GitHub organization that you will download from.
- ``<pack>``: the name for the pack that you want to download.
- ``@x.x.x``: an optional version number. If omitted, the latest version will be downloaded.
This command accepts arguments for multiple packs.
Using a CodeQL pack to analyze a CodeQL database
------------------------------------------------
To analyze a CodeQL database with a CodeQL pack, run the following command:
::
codeql database analyze <database> <scope>/<pack>@x.x.x
- ``<database>``: the CodeQL database to be analyzed.
- ``<scope>``: the name of the GitHub organization that the pack is published to.
- ``<pack>``: the name for the pack that you are using.
- ``@x.x.x``: an optional version number. If omitted, the latest version will be used.
The ``analyze`` command will run the default suite of any specified CodeQL packs. You can specify multiple CodeQL packs to be used for analyzing a CodeQL database. For example:
::
codeql <database> analyze <scope>/<pack> <scope>/<other-pack>

Packaging custom QL queries
---------------------------
Creating a custom QL pack
-------------------------
.. include:: ../reusables/beta-note-package-management.rst
When writing your own queries, you should save them in a custom QL pack
directory. QL packs provide a way of organizing
the files used in CodeQL analysis. This directory must contain a file
named ``qlpack.yml`` at the root. Your custom queries should be saved in the QL
pack root, or its subdirectories.
When you write your own queries, you should save them in a custom QL pack
directory. When you are ready to share your queries with other users, you can publish the pack as a CodeQL pack to GitHub Packages - the GitHub Container registry.
QL packs organize the files used in CodeQL analysis and can store queries,
library files, query suites, and important metadata. Their root directory must
contain a file named ``qlpack.yml``. Your custom queries should be saved in the
QL pack root, or its subdirectories.
For each QL pack, the ``qlpack.yml`` file includes information that tells CodeQL
how to compile the queries, what libraries the pack depends on, and where to find
query suite definitions. For more information about what to include in this
file, see ":ref:`About QL packs <custom-ql-packs>`."

Working with CodeQL packs in Visual Studio Code
===============================================
.. include:: ../reusables/beta-note-package-management.rst
You can view CodeQL packs and write and edit queries for them in Visual Studio Code.
About CodeQL packs
------------------
CodeQL packs are used to create, share, depend on, and run CodeQL queries and libraries. You can publish your own CodeQL packs and download packs created by others. For more information, see ":ref:`About CodeQL packs <about-codeql-packs>`."
Creating and editing CodeQL packs in Visual Studio Code
-------------------------------------------------------
To create a new CodeQL pack, you will need to use the CodeQL CLI from a terminal, which you can do within Visual Studio Code or outside of it with the ``codeql pack init`` command. Once you create an empty pack, you can edit the ``qlpack.yml`` file or run the ``codeql pack add`` command to add dependencies or change the name or version. For more information, see ":ref:`Creating and working with CodeQL packs <creating-and-working-with-codeql-packs>`."
You can create or edit queries in a CodeQL pack in Visual Studio Code as you would with any CodeQL query, using the standard code editing features such as autocomplete suggestions to find elements to use from the pack's dependencies.
You can then use the CodeQL CLI to publish your pack to share with others. For more information, see ":ref:`Publishing and using CodeQL packs <publishing-and-using-codeql-packs>`."
Viewing CodeQL packs and their dependencies in Visual Studio Code
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you have used the CodeQL CLI to download a CodeQL pack that someone else has created, or created your own, you can open the ``qlpack.yml`` file in the root of a CodeQL pack directory in Visual Studio Code and view the dependencies section to see what libraries the pack depends on.
If you want to understand a query in a CodeQL pack better, you can open the query file and view the code, using the IntelliSense code editing features of Visual Studio Code. For example, if you hover over an element from a library depended on by the pack, Visual Studio Code will resolve it so you can see documentation about the element.
To view the full definition of an element of a query, you can right-click and choose **Go to Definition**. If the library pack is present within the same Visual Studio Code workspace, this will take you to the definition within the workspace. Otherwise it will take you to the definition within your package cache, the shared location where downloaded dependencies are stored, which is in your home directory by default.

# CodeQL CWE coverage
An overview of the coverage of MITRE's Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) for the latest release of CodeQL.
## About CWEs
The CWE categorization contains several types of entity, collectively known as CWEs. The CWEs that we consider in this report are only those of the types:
- Weakness Class
- Weakness Base
- Weakness Variant
- Compound Element
Other types of CWE do not correspond directly to weaknesses, so are omitted.
The CWE categorization includes relationships between entities, in particular a parent-child relationship.
These relationships are associated with Views (another kind of CWE entity). For the purposes of coverage claims, we use the "[Research View](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1000.html)."
Every security query is associated with one or more CWEs, which are the most precise CWEs that are covered by that query.
Overall coverage is claimed for the most-precise CWEs, as well as for any of their ancestors in the View.
