We weren't concerned with security in this project, so no attempt was made to make session IDs used in browser cookies and XMPP and email interfaces difficult to predict.

This means it can be very easy to hijack the session of another user, and possible to hijack the session of privileged users.

This can pretty easily be fixed, it just wasn't a priority for us.
