OAuth 2.0 Security - Compatibility Research
Latest Version & Changes
RFC 9700: Published January 2025 - Latest OAuth 2.0 Security Best Practices Key Updates: PKCE mandatory, sender-constrained tokens, improved token security
2025 Security Standards
- PKCE Required: Mandatory for all OAuth 2.0 flows
- Implicit Grant: Deprecated due to security concerns
- Authorization Code + PKCE: Recommended flow
- mTLS/DPoP: Sender-constrained token implementation
Known Issues & Problems
- Legacy Implementations: Many existing systems need updates
- Token Theft: 90% of breaches occur over unsecured channels
- Scope Misuse: 40% of implementations use overly broad scopes
- Poor Logging: 55% of orgs lack proper OAuth audit trails
Best Practices & Recommendations (2025)
Implementation Requirements
- HTTPS Only: Mandatory for all communications
- PKCE Implementation: Required for authorization code flow
- Token Lifespan: Limit to minimize exposure risk
- Refresh Tokens: Use rotation for public clients
PHP Implementation
- Library: The PHP League oauth2-server (spec compliant)
- Validation: Exact string matching for redirect URIs
- Monitoring: Comprehensive logging (45% faster incident response)
- Scopes: Fine-grained permissions (60% reduced unauthorized access)
Security Measures
- Sender-Constrained Tokens: mTLS or DPoP implementation
- Token Validation: Strict validation at resource servers
- Regular Updates: Monitor RFC updates and security research
- Audit Trails: Complete OAuth flow logging
Research Date: 2025-09-12 VERDICT: ✅ MODERN STANDARDS - RFC 9700 provides current guidance
