Re: Is there a backdoor in WPMU/Buddypress?

I’ve already answered this question.

If you have a spammer with admin access on a blog, they can add new users to that blog. They are then new users in the system since WPMU shares a global users table. So essentially once a spammer has a blog they can get others in.

This is simply the way WPMU works, and if I try and change that, people shout and scream at me. The reality is, if you want to use WordPress MU and BuddyPress along with it, you are going to have to manage this somehow. Otherwise, just use standard WordPress since it doesn’t have these issues.
