Exposing SABnzbd port to internet, security question

I have just opened up a route through my firewall so that my mobile phone app can monitor SABnzbd on my Linux NAS box.

I have used port redirection and password protected SABnzbd GUI.

Just checking that there are no know exploits that could cause a security breach with this method.

Cheers

We're not aware of security issues, but we're not security experts either.
Personally I only use SABnzbd from outside through an SSH tunnel.
But I'm rather paranoid.

I'm also rather paranoid but I don't use SSH tunel (yet:)) But I recommend following: set strong password and don't use login admin, administrator, use SSL either run SAB on HTTPS or use reverse proxy, get a SSL certificate for your web server.
