Not completely. There are some configurations in which EXEC mode is not fully privileged. For instance, someone might be covertly capturing flows passing through the router. The ability to execute arbitrary code can be used to reveal that activity, and the router operator may not be authorized to do so. However, it seems to me that this is more or less a compliance thing, not a security issue.
