I wonder if installing 2 more (USB to Ethernet) NICs to my PC can be risky if I need that only my PC can access to the three networks, and no any other host in these networks... Could my PC act like a router, allowing traffic from any host to any network?

Yes. That is called a pivot point. Yet, it does not _create_ vulnerabilities per se, it „just“ makes them accessible, if the system gets compromised. – Tobi Nary Oct 04 '17 at 19:16

It also depends upon other factors such as what operating system these will be installed on, if a VM hypervisor will be exposing these interfaces to guest VM's and in what mode (NAT/Bridge/etc), and if traffic will be forwarded across any of them. If your using this on a Linux system this can be controlled with IP tables and sysctl rules. – Justin Andrusk Oct 05 '17 at 20:19

yes,, that is not secure for your networks, your PC will be an entrance for other network if it got exploited, attacker can use PC as a zombie or even launch attacks to the three networks from it directly,,
