An unauthenticated attacker can abuse this with network-level access to the
camera to download the entire NGINX/FastCGI configurations by querying, i.e.:

http://[CAM-IP]/conf/nginx.conf
http://[CAM-IP]/conf/fastcgi.conf

Etc.


6. RISK

An unauthenticated attacker can download the webserver's configuration files
which might lead to sensitive information disclosure.
