There is no fixed version for Echo:latest nix.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nix package and not the nix package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The multi-user installer in Nix before 2.35.3 sets the ownership of store contents to the user (who invoked the installer) even though it should be root ownership.
