A recent scan of an ecommerce site I've developed and hosted on a shared server at CrystalTech has failed a PCI compliance test recently. It previously passed them.

The report says that sessionids are predictable and therefore insecure. This threatens my relationship with the credit card companies. The good folks at CrystalTech have not been helpful yet. Is anyone familiar with this issue or have valuable thoughts?

Interestingly, Securitymetrics calls it "Allaire Coldfusion". Man, are they out of date.

    It's a faulty report. Refer them to the following URL:
