This was discussed here once discovered[1], and the conclusion is:
it's not a security issue in nginx, but rather a misconfiguration
of php.

Making sure you've configured it correctly (i.e. switched off
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in php.ini) is a good idea though.

Any other security issues or misconfiguration I should know about?

Thanks
