-## 0.4.38

-### Bug Fixes
-
-* GitHub Actions queries now better account for permission checks on jobs that call reusable workflows.
-* The query `actions/pr-on-self-hosted-runner` was updated to the latest standard runner labels reducing false positive results.

 ### Minor Analysis Improvements
 
-* The GitHub Actions analysis now recognizes more Bash regex checks that restrict a value to alphanumeric characters, including regexes like `^[0-9a-zA-Z]{40}([0-9a-zA-Z]{24})?$` which check for a SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash. This may reduce false positive results where command output is validated with grouped or optional alphanumeric patterns before being used.

We recommend updating existing flow summaries to use fully qualified field names. Unqualified field names are still supported, but that support will be removed in a future release.
