Subject: CFID-CFTOKEN Major Issues. HELP!!!!

I am having a huge problem right now, I have an application where I am using
CFID/Cftoken as part of URL parameter.  They are currently being maintained
in the registry.

One of my clients emailed the URL (entire URL) to another individual (who
does not use this application at all) in totally different location.

When that user clicked on the link, he was logged in as the Client and was
able to access the entire system.

Huge Security Issue here.

What is the underlying cause of it?

If I change the session management parameters though the CF Administrator to
use cookies, is there other major work (code re-write) I need to do, since
the application has been developed using cfids/cftokens in the URL.

OR

Can I set the addtoken=no in the cflocation and prevent the tokens from
being append to URL..  If yes, are there any major repercussions.  Will this
work.
