Once the session times out, it won't matter that the same CFID / CFTOKEN
are being used. This is the same exact thing as letting a web page sit
open for a few hours, then refreshing the page and being kicked out of
the session. The Browser makes a request with the CFID / CFTOKEN values
that it has in its cookies. 

This is NOT a security risk, as far as I can see it. At least not if
your session management is using cookie-based CFID / CFTOKEN values.

Subject: session vulnerabilities

If cfid and cftoken or jsessionid are copied and used later maliciously
on the url, how should a site respond?

How do folks guard against this?
