A security flaw in Microsoft's ASP.NET technology could allow intruders to enter password-protected areas of a web site by altering a URL. A fix is not yet available, but Microsoft is offfering guidelines to help ASP.NET users secure their sites against intrusion attempts. The flaw exists only in ASP.NET, not ASP (Active Server Pages).
This is one more reason why open source software will always be superior to Non-Open Source. This security flaw would have been fixed as quickly as it was found had this happened in the Open Source world. Everyone running a MS server is at the disposal of MS and now has to wait for MS to update their server software.
that sort of goes along with this news about Abbey bank in the uk http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3984845.stm
Where users where able to bypass entering a password and only use ther username to login in.
It has now been fixed but whoooo!!!! for security in online banking.
