    I turned off Woopra because of that. I know another thread very briefly discussed this, but I think it's a serious problem and I saw no resolution.

    If someone goes to page view (or view source) they can see the admin email address and the special Woopra code number.

    That's not a good thing. This information should be hidden.

    If someone goes to a page on your website he will see HIS session information (email,name..) and not yours!

    What about the Woopra code number? Does that show up as well?

    It looks like it does show the Woopra ID number on other computers. But, you're right. No email address.

    Is there a potential security issue with the revelation of that ID?

    If you use the WordPress plugin for instance, it is not your email that are being displayed, but merely the user logged onto your site.

    And since you properly login to your own site, it is ofcause your email which is being displayed in the view source.

    Try and logout, and notice that your email is no longer displayed in the woopra code.

    Regarding the "Woopra code number" I see no security issues, since it is only an identifier for your site as far a I know. Woopra still depends on the url to be whatever site you registered, so you can't copy it into another site and misuse it that way.

    Kind regards
