Description

see https://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html

The buildpack enforces nginx version 1.27.x. However, this version contains a major vulnerability.

It should be possible to pin the nginx version when deploying our application.

Research direction

Start with the buildpack behavior that enforces nginx 1.27.x and trace how deployment configuration is handled. Review the linked nginx security advisories for the motivation, then define how a deployment can pin another version; done means an application can select its nginx version instead of being forced to 1.27.x.
