As Paul wrote, yes. I think there is no easy way to prevent this without 
having central authentication (what is not desirable for a distributed, 
fault-tolerant system).

However, if only one node is compromised (, you recognize that) and all 
other nodes are within your administrative domain, you can easily deploy 
a new introducer FURL. Obviously.
