I just made it a RFE, it's not a bug. The bug is in that other module you're talking about, and it's a vulnerabiliy, not just a bug. Somebody really ought to report that. It's a lucky break that we fixed this original bug in our code and it caught theirs.

If a module were pushing a secret into a variable for use by application code during a request and then it showed up in a subsequent request that wasn't even for the same resource as the original....

It's a pretty huge violation of the contract involved when you do this stuff and I certainly have caused my share of those.
