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.
