Again, it is up to you to make sure that any app you install in your forums is safe and or you take any extra measures to stop spam.

I have installed Tapatalk on several forums which I have set up for friends and family and none of them have this problem. You can't expect an app that is free to do everything for you.

You say this is a security flaw, but any forum or site can experience huge amounts of spam accounts without having this app installed, but how is that a security flaw? What is it putting at risk that forums or sites that don't have this app installed isn't?

The problem is not a security flaw but a spam issue, two very different things ...
