I had a scare today - basically I was viewing PokerDIY.com as a logged out user and could see all the admin modules that are set to Admin Only. I thought it might be a browser issue so I loaded up Chrome and IE and the logged out user could see the admin content. They could not do anything (it then asked them to log on) but this is a serious issue.

Restarting the application got rid of it, but I took a screenshot if anyone wants to see it as proof. Has anyone had this before? I assume some process is falling over and the IIS pipeline is corrupted somewhere so it's not going through the security routine but it's almost impossible to tell.I had left the PC for a few hours and came back and saw it - this is the first time.

I will be deleting all my Admin Only modules on the page as a precaution.

Rodders,

not that I want to prolong an open discussion but I imagine that you were using the same machine, ie same IP address on your internal network when this occured, are there any proxies/caches between you and your server?

 I've had something similar to this happen before to me when viewing DotNetNuke.com .  I'll log in as myself and then a little bit later DotNetNuke.com will start going really slow and I will all of the sudden logged in as a different user.  After clicking around a few times, I'll be back to my normal self again.

This was from my own laptop and there were no cache's or proxies.  I only have this happen maybe once every 6 months or so and I've never been able to reproduce it.
