The issue is that someone is able to upload a image file to a directory
with scripts (I do not know why he is not able to override some valid
images or even the scripts themself in this case). Then someone requests
the image file as "/dir/1.gif/2.php" making exploit. I do not see
how using types will help in a case when nginx ahs not access to remote
filesystem.
