I get the impression that if AIR is installed then as long as only potlatch is used then the security risk is very low unlike Flash.

It's a desktop application just like any other and has the same constraints and opportunities as any other application. There is no communication from your browser other than the one-way, user-initiated Remote Control mechanism as used by JOSM, Merkaartor etc. You do not need to install AIR yourself, the application build takes care of that.
