Oh no, do we have a Texi injection vulnerability in Guix? :)
What I understand is that an error occurs when trying to show a hint to the user (display-hint in the backtrace). This calls texi->plain-text which transforms texinfo markup to text for displaying on a terminal. With your user name, it tries to read something like:
/home/~a/.guix-profile/etc/profile
Which is expanded into:
/home/user@foo.bar/.guix-profile/etc/profile
And the @ is understood as texinfo markup but there is no @foo command in texinfo. How do we fix that though?
