Summary:
When logging into the forums (tested with the Matrix Online game forums) your
sessionid is passed along the URL. And images/etc that link to other websites
pass this URL along as the referrer. This URL can be used to log in as that
person with out any authentication.
Lithium has been contacted directly by me about this. I am waiting to hear
back from then. SOE was also contacted it has not been fixed (5 months now)
but they did say they would "pass it along"
