This has nothing to do with Tor. It's just the general way how the IP protocol works. Without allowing stateful input, you couldn't do any useful traffic. You always need to make sure that there's a way to the destination (output) and a way for the target server to reply to you (input). But using stateful inspection, only input that is a reply to your output is allowed. There should't be any security risk because of this. It's what your home router is doing as well to allow the servers you want to talk to to reply.
