Yesterday Hannes Tschofenig announced an OAuth Security Advisory on Authori=
zation Server Mix-Up<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/oauth/JIVxFBGsJB=
Vtm7ljwJhPUm3Fr-w>.  This note announces the publication of the strawman OA=
uth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation draft he mentioned that mitigates the attacks cov=
ered in the advisory.  The abstract of the specification is:

This specification defines an extension to The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Fram=
ework that enables an authorization server to provide a client using it wit=
h a consistent set of metadata about itself. This information is returned i=
n the authorization response. It can be used by the client to prevent class=
es of attacks in which the client might otherwise be tricked into using inc=
onsistent sets of metadata from multiple authorization servers, including p=
otentially using a token endpoint that does not belong to the same authoriz=
ation server as the authorization endpoint used. Recent research publicatio=
ns refer to these as "IdP Mix-Up" and "Malicious Endpoint" attacks.

The gist of the mitigation is having the authorization server return the cl=
ient ID and its issuer identifier (a value defined in the OAuth Discovery s=
pecification<http://self-issued.info/?p=3D1496>) so that the client can ver=
ify that it is using a consistent set of authorization server configuration=
 information, that the client ID is for that authorization server, and in p=
articular, that the client is not being confused into sending information i=
ntended for one authorization server to a different one.  Note that these a=
ttacks can only be made against clients that are configured to use more tha=
n one authorization server.

Please give the draft a quick read and provide feedback to the OAuth workin=
g group.  This draft is very much a starting point intended to describe bot=
h the mitigations and the decisions and analysis remaining before we can be=
 confident in standardizing a solution.  Please definitely read the Securit=
y Considerations and Open Issues sections, as they contain important inform=
ation about the choices made and the decisions remaining.

Special thanks go to Daniel Fett (University of Trier), Christian Mainka (R=
uhr-University Bochum), Vladislav Mladenov (Ruhr-University Bochum), and Gu=
ido Schmitz (University of Trier) for notifying us of the attacks and worki=
ng with us both on understanding the attacks and on developing mitigations.=
  Thanks too to Hannes Tschofenig for organizing a meeting on this topic la=
st month and to Torsten Lodderstedt and Deutsche Telekom for hosting the me=
eting.
