# 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
|
|

|
|
**VERDICT**: ✅ MODERN STANDARDS - RFC 9700 provides current guidance |
