Using /releases/latest/download/ instead of a pinned version can lead to reproducibility and stability issues. Docker images built at different times may use different CodeQL CLI versions, potentially causing:

  1. Inconsistent behavior across deployments
  2. Unexpected breaking changes
  3. Difficulty troubleshooting issues

Consider either:

  • Keeping a pinned version (e.g., v2.23.0) for reproducible builds
  • Adding a mechanism to explicitly update the version through configuration rather than automatically pulling the latest
  • Documenting why automatic updates are preferred over version pinning
