Needs Review

I recommend reviewing this upgrade before merging because the version tag referenced (v31.8.2) does not appear to exist in the official cachix/install-nix-action releases, with external sources indicating the latest v31.x release is v31.4.0. While the upgrade uses a pinned commit hash which provides version stability, the version mismatch raises concerns about whether this is a legitimate release or a mislabeled tag. Additionally, there is a critical CVE-2024-45593 security vulnerability in Nix versions below 2.24.6 that should be verified as resolved in the Nix runtime version installed by this action. The action is used extensively across 26 references in 6 workflow files for all build, lint, test, and compliance operations, making verification of this upgrade critical before deployment.

What we checked

  • GitHub Action dependency upgraded to commit 456688f15bc354bef6d396e4a35f4f89d40bf2b7 tagged as v31.8.2, but this version does not appear in official releases [1]
  • Action used in lint workflows - one of 26 total usages across 6 workflow files (build, common, common_pr, compliance, lint, test) [2]
  • Action used in compliance workflows - failure here would break compliance checking [3]
  • Official releases page shows version v31.8.2 does not exist - the latest v31 release is v31.4.0, raising concerns about version authenticity [4]
  • Critical security vulnerability CVE-2024-45593 affects Nix versions below 2.24.6 - verify that the action installs a patched Nix version [5]
