Hi, In the past I have seen the following acuse this problem:
1/ users who sent each other links to pages with CFID and CFTOKEN in the link. 2/ Search engine spiders site and picks up a CFID and CFTOKEN. 3/ Firewall caches the CFID and CFTOKEN (This was many years ago and I think most are fixed now) 4/ Missing CFLOCK Hope that helps Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Ian Buzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 January 2005 07:31 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Sessions being show to wrong users? I'd back up Martin's theory of it being search engines indexing the site with the CFID/CFTOKEN in the URL. If two people follow that link within the session time out they will share the session. I now only use CFID/CFTOKEN in the URL from behind a log in page, or after someone has added an item to the basket etc ... all things a search engine can't do. It's always occurred to me that this is a massive security hole in the way that ColdFusion manages sessions. Having said that, most application servers use a similar method of maintaining session when cookies are not enabled. Ian >What is the URL that these people are coming in on ?
