General improvements

New queries

Query Tags Purpose

Changes to existing queries

@name of query (Query ID) Impact on results How/why the query has changed
Off-by-one comparison against container length (cs/index-out-of-bounds) Fewer false positives Results have been removed when there are additional guards on the index.
Dereferenced variable is always null (cs/dereferenced-value-is-always-null) Improved results The query has been rewritten from scratch, and the analysis is now based on static single assignment (SSA) forms. The query is now enabled by default in LGTM.
Dereferenced variable may be null (cs/dereferenced-value-may-be-null) Improved results The query has been rewritten from scratch, and the analysis is now based on static single assignment (SSA) forms. The query is now enabled by default in LGTM.
SQL query built from user-controlled sources (cs/sql-injection), Improper control of generation of code (cs/code-injection), Uncontrolled format string (cs/uncontrolled-format-string), Clear text storage of sensitive information (cs/cleartext-storage-of-sensitive-information), Exposure of private information (cs/exposure-of-sensitive-information) More results Data sources have been added from user controls in System.Windows.Forms.
Use of default ToString() (cs/call-to-object-tostring) Fewer false positives Results have been removed for char arrays passed to StringBuilder.Append(), which were incorrectly marked as using ToString.
Use of default ToString() (cs/call-to-object-tostring) Fewer results Results have been removed when the object is an interface or an abstract class.
Unused format argument (cs/format-argument-unused) Fewer false positives Results have been removed where the format string is empty. This is often used as a default value and is not an interesting result.

Changes to code extraction

  • Fix extraction of for statements where the condition declares new variables using is.
  • Initializers of stackalloc arrays are now extracted.

Changes to QL libraries

  • The class TrivialProperty now includes library properties determined to be trivial using CIL analysis. This may increase the number of results for all queries that use data flow.

Changes to the autobuilder
