So this is a pretty big security issue that I assume paypal needs to address.

If you checkout with paypal standard from an ecommerce cart like zencart....
1. You click confirm button
2. You are taken to paypal to login
3. You are taken to a page where you confirm the payment
4. You are taken to the success and redirect screen
5. You are returned to the store's success page.

If you open a new tab after Step 3 but before Step 4, and type "paypal.com". You are taken to your logged in account.
This is absolutely fine since you just logged in.

If you open a new tab after Step 5, and type "paypal.com". You are required to login again.
This is good since you don't expect your account to be open anymore since it was only logged in for the payment


BUT when using Paypal Express, after the DoExpressPayment is called, paypal should be killing it own cookie for the session.
But I am still able to open a new tab and type "paypal.com" and my account is still left open.

I don't see any field to be passed to force a logout after payment is made so I assume that this is something that paypal is supposed to be doing but isnt.
