Pull Request Overview
This PR is currently not up to quality standards as reported by Codacy. The primary concern is a security risk in the email notification workflow.
Updating third-party actions using mutable tags instead of fixed commit SHAs introduces a supply chain vulnerability. This is critical for the dawidd6/action-send-mail step, which processes sensitive SMTP credentials. It is recommended to pin such dependencies to a specific commit SHA to ensure the integrity of the CI/CD pipeline.
About this PR
- The project should adopt a policy of pinning third-party GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs. Relying on mutable tags for external code execution is a security risk, particularly when those actions have access to repository secrets or external credentials.
Test suggestions
- Verify CodeQL initialization and analysis steps still execute successfully with version v4.37.8.
- Verify the email notification step still successfully delivers emails using the new major version and existing configuration.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify CodeQL initialization and analysis steps still execute successfully with version v4.37.8.
2. Verify the email notification step still successfully delivers emails using the new major version and existing configuration.

🔴 HIGH RISK
Pinning third-party actions to a specific commit SHA ensures that the version used is immutable and has not been tampered with. Using a mutable tag is risky because tags can be moved to point to different code without notice. This is especially important for this step as it handles sensitive SMTP secrets.
