Nice Catch
This issue is especially important for two reasons.

One, the prevalence of new applications in general on FB opens the opportunity to have wrong-doers take advantage as mentioned.

Two, the lack of understanding by the general internet user about malicious code, particularly for a remote download like this one, is massively concerning for me. How can you trust invitations to participate in new activities if your own circle of contacts can't see through them upon initial review?

I'd like to see FB put in place an approval process for new apps. Anything not approved should not be rolled out, no questions asked.

Anyone else feel this way?
