The main repository of GitHub Security Lab, containing security research documentation, CodeQL query examples, and proof-of-concept exploits for disclosed open-source vulnerabilities. It also tracks CodeQL bounty requests and curates community resources for security research.

Use cases

• learn how to find vulnerabilities with CodeQL
• find proof-of-concept exploits for fixed CVEs
• study real-world security vulnerability examples in C, Java, and JavaScript
• learn best practices for responsible vulnerability disclosure
• find CodeQL query examples for security auditing
• contribute security queries to an open-source community

When to choose

• you want to learn CodeQL for security research with real worked examples
• you need PoC exploits for already-patched vulnerabilities to test defenses
• you want guidance on security research and disclosure practices
• you want to participate in CodeQL security bounties

When to avoid

• you need a runnable security scanning tool rather than examples and documentation
• you want exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities
• you need production security tooling for CI pipelines
