Security Notice

This release (and previous releases) includes Nix versions that are vulnerable to CVE-2024-27297. The current default Nix version, 2.19.3, is not vulnerable. If you select another Nix version you should use your own judgement to decide if CVE-2024-27297 is applicable to your usage of Nix in your GitHub Actions workflow.

The following Nix versions that are packaged with this action are not vulnerable:

• 2.19.3 (the default version)
• 2.18.1
• 2.3.17

The above versions have been explicitly patched by the nixpkgs maintainers.

The rest of the Nix versions provided by this action are vulnerable to CVE-2024-27297.

In the next release of this action (v28), all vulnerable Nix versions will be removed.

nixbuild/nix-quick-install-action@v25

Changes

• When using a Nix version newer than 2.13, nix-quick-install-action will now automatically add experimental-features = nix-command flakes and accept-flake-config = true to the Nix configuration. This means that if you are using flakes you don't have to add these settings yourself to the nix_conf action input.

• If you have a nixConfig attribute in your flake.nix, nix-quick-install-action will now automatically load it into the installed Nix configuration. This means that even old-style Nix commands (like nix-build, nix-store etc) will be able to use the Nix configuration from flake.nix. This feature was contributed by @blaggacao.

nixbuild/nix-quick-install-action@v21

Changes

• nix-quick-install-action now supports installation into a pre-existing /nix directory. This means that you for example can cache the contents of /nix between different jobs or different runs of one job, for performance gains. nix-quick-install-action will not remove any existing content found in the Nix database or store. For this to work, the pre-existing /nix directory must be writeable by the job runner user.
