What security problems do you mean? What warning would you recommend?
UPnP is for traversing NAT, and NAT is not a firewall. Many routers
enable UPnP by default, and using the plugin allows people who do not
understand how to forward ports to use Freenet. It is not intended for
those who know how to configure a firewall / NAT.
Is that what you were referring to?
