Not if it scripted and/or plugged into system-config-securitylevel or
whatever it is we use to manage the firewall locally these days.
Well, we won't script it then.
Just because it is enabled on the router doesn't mean that we
should
preconfigure applications to exploit it. Bad call.
It's a low risk feature that adds signficant ease of use for the user.
You haven't shown at all how it could be exploited.
