True, but the lack of the xauth cookie should stop them from doing
anything. Try this experiment: log in to a host with X forwarding on,
then log in from another window as another user and copy $DISPLAY.
$ ssh -X user1@localhost
user1$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:15.0
[in another window]
$ ssh -x user2@localhost
user2$ DISPLAY=localhost:15.0 xterm
You should get an error in window 1 something like "X11 connection
rejected because of wrong authentication" and no xterm.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
