Is jsessionid passed when addtoken="yes" attribute/value is added to
cflocation?  Are there other ways jsessionid can be passed?

Thanks

The jsessionid will function just like the cfid and cftoken values do. It
identities the session and if it's in the url its a security hole. It would
work the same way if you copied someone's cookie onto your computer and if
the session was still activate it would grant you access.

The fix: never pass these IDs in the URL. It can be dangerous also when the
user exits the site and that ID is stored in someone else's server logs as a
referral url.

A user forwarded me a link which had a jsessionid in the url.  I clicked on
the link and was logged in as that user.  What causes this and how do I fix
it?


Thanks
