It shouldn't, and under the default security mode of OOo, it won't.

It is only a theoretical security flaw, not a practical one.

I'm not a security expert neither. But I could think of this method:
Create some new library with a module.
Set event "Start Application" so it runs newLib.Module1.Main
Finish OOo and serach all files that have been changed.
Now write a script, which applies the same changes in a user's OOo-directory, including some set of evil macros, logging any information you like (databases, opened documents, addresses, bibliographies, form-input). Now you need read-access to the user's directory, which should be no problem for "a real hacker".
