Definitely UPnP, it's often left on by default.

I remember discussing UPnP in class, but I also feel like DNSSEC could be relevant. However, I think UPnP is the most likely answer here.

I’m a bit confused; I thought NAT also had some security features. Is it really considered an attack surface like UPnP?

I recall practicing a question like this, and UPnP was definitely highlighted as a common vulnerability. It seems to be the right choice.

I think the answer might be UPnP, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember it being mentioned in a lecture about home network security.
