Apparently not.

Unknown, from what I've read I assume it has some intentional purpose, 
UPnP InternetGatewayDevice.

So do devices that have intentional web servers/services running for 
functional purposes need to document them?  Or just say "device 
supports UPnP?"

Disable UPnP.

Not remote/internet, some sort of internal LAN/WLAN.

So, I see "device runs web server as part of UPnP, on "internal" 
network(s) only."  Normal function, no specific vulnerability.  Yes, 
can be used by attacker (who has gained access via other means) to 
exfil the config.
