Daniel,

No. It is not a correct summary. One client can allow another client to get an access token that belongs to it. The key point is that a software only solution can't prevent this collaborative attack and since, at this time, the OAuth WG is not considering the use of secure elements, the attack cannot be countered.

Please have a look at: https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg16767.html

Hi Denis,

To stay in OAuth lingo, what you are saying is: Two collaborating clients can exchange their access tokens and use them.

Is that a correct summary of your attack?
