Hello.
I was testing my refer a friend feature and noticed that in the email received suggesting the product, that the zenid of the user who sent the referral was attached to the product link.
So, i couldn't find any threads on this, but are there any security concerns regarding this? If he/she who sent the referring link still had an active session, is it possible for the recipient to click on the link and be "logged-in" on the sender's account?

I am also seeing this on a clean install of 1.3.7 but only if the customer is using IE7. I cannot reproduce it using Firefox or Safari.
The ZenId is appended to the product link after a colon.

Re: Refer a Friend session ID attaching to referring email
Have you an URL to your site? This is really strange behavior to appear in the email as that is stripped out ...

Re: Refer a Friend session ID attaching to referring email
I can't reproduce this again now. I spotted it a few days ago and it was on my list of things to look into.
Sorry no link due to customer confidentiality.
