Does anyone have more information about sessions stored in cookies? is it 
really completely safe or is it theoretically possible for an attacker to 
pretend being logged in as some random user?

It is known (or easy to find out) that an app was made with web2py and the 
session code is open source. The structure of the session object is at 
least partially known. Therefor the only secret part is cookie_key I use 
for session.connect. I guess that's enough to make it impossible to build 
your own session (and store it in the cookie), right?
