Theoretically there *is* a security risk during a network installation, as stated in Securing Debian Manual [1]. However, if I were you, I wouldn't mind too much, since IMHO the risk is really low. If you are really concerned over the problem (or you are paranoid :P), you can set up a firewall [2]. If you are particularly demanding over security, one of the best reference for Debian is Securing Debian.
