Is this the bug where security credentials/roles are "cached" if session
storage is used?

Well, let me back up a bit.

1) The fact that CFLOGIN uses a cookie and NOT the session scope isn't a
bug. It's just wierd. To "tie" it, you have to write custom code. Go to my
blog and do a search for cflogin.

2) The security issue with CFLOGIN/Session HAS been posted to Macromedia....
I'm mostly sure about it... but I don't believe a formal bug exists in their
system yet. I was working w/ Sarge on that and I'll have to bug him about
that. I -can- say his blog does mention the bug in great detail.

This is not what he says, but my opinion - do not use CFLOGIN/Session.
Period. When it comes to security, you cannot be too anal. If you do use
CFLOGIN/Cookie, be sure to remember that it is not tied by default to the
session scope.
