None. It's hard to say who is responsible for this.. is JForum? Is the proxy? The network admin?

The cookies contains basic information about every user (like session time and user id), and weren't supposed to be "shared".

Are you doing any kind of SSO?

I've seen situations like this. The general scenario was in a "lab" setting. User A logs off of the master app, but does not get logged out of the subapp. Then User B logs in to the Master app with the same browser session. This lets User B get the same session that User A had in the sub app... which has a valid user in it's session and does not run the SSO re-authentication. So, main app is user B but secondary app is user A.
