If you're using the regular nix from nixpkgs (which the vast majority of users will be), you're still on a safe version. If you recently (after August 1st) installed nix using the nix (not NixOS) installers, or are using nixVersions.git from nixpkgs, then you need to double-check. A fix is expected in version 2.24.6 which is to be released soon.
