The ngninx conf sample file provided in the applicatoin server folder handle the regex php file like this:
location ~ (index|get|static|report|404|503|health_check.php)\.php$ {
try_files $fastcgi_script_name $uri/;
index index.php;
....
whereas in the nginx conf provided with the native magento2 install folder, the php file are handle like this:
# PHP entry point for main application
location ~ ^/(index|get|static|errors/report|errors/404|errors/503|health_check)\.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass fastcgi_backend;
You can see that the regex is far more secure on the native nginx conf : for instance , only a file from root /index.php can be executed, whereas on the application server , every file ending by index.php in every public folder will be executed.
So this issue combined with the polyshell issue , allow an attacker to uplaod an 99index.php file in media/custom_options , and can access it and execute it !! (also the deny all on custom_options or customer_address is not present in this nginx conf file )
So , my point is , why the nginx conf file from application server is not up to date in security with the native nginx conf magento2 file
