Nitriles can be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids and ammonium salts by heating them with strong acids (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 955). This reaction is unlikely to happen with weak acids, but if it does, it is not expected to be hazardous. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
