Kingdom: Time and State

Distributed computation is about time and state. That is, in order for more than one component to communicate, state must be shared, and all that takes time.

Most programmers anthropomorphize their work. They think about one thread of control carrying out the entire program in the same way they would if they had to do the job themselves. Modern computers, however, switch between tasks very quickly, and in multi-core, multi-CPU, or distributed systems, two events may take place at exactly the same time. Defects rush to fill the gap between the programmer's model of how a program executes and what happens in reality. These defects are related to unexpected interactions between threads, processes, time, and information. These interactions happen through shared state: semaphores, variables, the file system, and, basically, anything that can store information.

OAuth2: Insufficient Refresh Token Revocation

Universal

Abstract

An OAuth2 authorization servers that issue refresh_tokens to web application clients and native application clients without verifying client_id and client_secret might be susceptible to impersonation attacks.

Explanation

Authorization servers that do not verify the client_id and client_secret when refreshing the access_token are susceptible to impersonation and unauthorized access attacks. Authorization servers might issue refresh tokens to web application clients and native application clients. The authorization server must verify the binding between the refresh token and client identity whenever the client identity can be authenticated. When client authentication is not possible, the authorization server should deploy other means to detect refresh token abuse such as redirecting the user to repeat the authorization process after an expiration date is reached.
