When you save analysis results from the CodeQL CLI in CSV format, each line corresponds to an alert, containing a comma-separated list with the following information:
| Property | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Name of the query that identified the result. | Inefficient regular expression |
| Description | Description of the query. | A regular expression that requires exponential time to match certain inputs can be a performance bottleneck, and may be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks. |
| Severity | Severity of the query. | error |
| Message | Alert message. | This part of the regular expression may cause exponential backtracking on strings containing many repetitions of '\\\\'. |
| Path | Path of the file containing the alert. | /vendor/codemirror/markdown.js |
| Start line | Line of the file where the code that triggered the alert begins. | 617 |
| Start column | Column of the start line that marks the start of the alert code. Not included when equal to 1. | 32 |
| End line | Line of the file where the code that triggered the alert ends. Not included when the same value as the start line. | 64 |
| End column | Where available, the column of the end line that marks the end of the alert code. Otherwise the end line is repeated. | 617 |
