Explanation

Results from CodeQL analysis are surfaced in the repository's code scanning alerts section, found under the Security tab. From there, developers can view, filter by severity or rule, investigate the code path, and dismiss or track alerts. A CodeQL database is an intermediate artifact used during analysis, not a place to view results. Query packs are collections of queries used to run analysis. Security advisories are a separate feature for publicly disclosing vulnerabilities.
