For the web server flow, you know the AS server you called and can
reasonably trust the data.

For the user agent flow, attackers can create a URL with data and send it to
you. This is OK (kind of) if the data is limited to an access token - this
would allow an attacker to grant you access to their protected resources,
which only has problems if you accidentally send protected data in an update
to that account. But if you have other parameters that need to be vouched
for by the AS, then it is insecure.
