Class Variable Question

I am new to Python and I just read something that I thought was peculiar.
Is it true that a user can add to the variables of a class just by naming
the new variable?
Like:
ClassObject.var1=5
Would this create a variable "var1" inside the class even though the creator
of the class never intended it to be there (there was no var1 originally)?
If I mistype the variable in my code, a new variable inside the class is
created rather than flagging the error? Is there a way to prevent this so
users cannot add variables? It seems to me that the user could just
override a class with unrelated data.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Johnson
