Yes, if those services are vulnerable whether they're running as a Tor 
service or not.

The other concern is that hidden services expose information about the 
system that the hidden service is running on, i.e. a http server that 
lists the operating system that it's running on, or a daemon that shows 
the location that the hidden service is running on.
