CodeQL 2.26.0 adds Kotlin 2.4.0 support and AI prompt injection detection
GitHub released CodeQL 2.26.0, which adds support for Kotlin 2.4.0 and introduces a new query for detecting AI prompt injection vulnerabilities. The Kotlin support enables CodeQL to analyze code written in the latest version of the language. The AI prompt injection detection query helps identify security issues where user-controlled input can manipulate the behavior of large language models. This update reflects the growing importance of securing AI-powered applications. CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine used for automated security checks and variant analysis.
// why it matters
Developers using Kotlin 2.4.0 can now run CodeQL analysis, and AI prompt injection detection helps secure LLM integrations.
