GitHub today launched GitHub Security Lab, an ongoing effort to protect open source projects. The GitHub Security Lab aims to bring together security researchers from partner organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Oracle, Uber and HackerOne. To boost the GitHub Security Lab, GitHub is CodeQL, an open source variant analysis software from Semmle, a company that it acquired in September to help GitHub better detect vulnerabilities in the code. Semmle security software is used by companies such as Google, Microsoft and NASA. GitHub says it has used the CodeQL semantic code analysis engine to find more than 100 vulnerabilities in popular open source projects with custom queries.
