If that worked from the LAN side, it would be bad but not catastrophic. If that worked from the WAN side, it would be catastrophic. Of course, even from the LAN side, if someone can get into your system through a forwarded port (say, cracking your web or mail server, or getting into a shell via ssh), then it trivially becomes remotely exploitable.
