make-initrd-ng is a tool for copying binaries and their dependencies. Local privilege escalation affecting all NixOS users. With systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable enabled (the default) a local user is able to create a program that will be executed by root during shutdown. Patches exist for NixOS 24.11 and 25.05 / unstable. As a workaround, set systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable = false;.

make-initrd-ng es una herramienta para copiar binarios y sus dependencias. La escalada de privilegios locales afecta a todos los usuarios de NixOS. Con systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable habilitado (predeterminado), un usuario local puede crear un programa que será ejecutado por root durante el apagado. Existen parches para NixOS 24.11 y 25.05 (inestable). Como workaround, configure systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable = false;.
