I don't think you need to be able to spoof your IP to prove the security
risk. As you've already proved the attack works if you're using the same
source IP address (from the applications point of view) as the victim.
There are quite a few ISPs and companies that use proxies or NAT that give
many users the same IP address. Admittedly, the scope of the attack is
narrow (e.g. work colleagues attacking each other) but it's still a valid
attack.
