# 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
