It seems to me that a single user can almost always initiate simultaneous requests that might access the same session scope because if they do "Right click on a link -> Open in new window" or "File -> New Window" in IE they effectively have 2 browsers using the same site with the same session. They might be clicking around in the second window while they wait for something to happen in the first window.

I don't know if many people worry about this, but I tend to, because I often open multiple browsers on the same website when I am surfing the Web.

The prevalence of tabbed browsing as a feature in new browsers would seem to indicate than many people do this.


There's also clicking stop after clicking a link, then clicking a new link. There's other files that an initial page can call (e.g., if you use CF to build dynamic javascript or css "files" or image redirects or the like). There's probably other ways as well.

I try to assume a Session can be pounded from all angles, even by a single user.
