Here is a good example of session-hijacking.

You use userreferenceargument and the user at a workstation opens up 2
instances of a browser and both looking at the same page.

You see where this can go...

I STILL don't understand why UserReferences from a week ago should
lead to session hijacking. Wouldn't this UserReference have expired a long
time ago? Wouldn't that result in creating a new UserReference? If not,
wouldn't this be considered a bug?
