Doorkeeper is an OAuth 2 provider for Ruby on Rails. In version 1.9.0, an attacker who knows only a dynamically registered client's clientid, which is public information, can authenticate as that client at the token endpoint and obtain an access token without providing its clientsecret. This occurs because the Dynamic Client Registration feature creates applications with confidential: false hard-coded, even though the registration response returns a clientsecret and advertises support for the clientsecretbasic and clientsecret_post authentication methods; since Doorkeeper treats a blank or missing secret as valid for non-confidential (public) clients, the secret is never verified. Only projects that have explicitly enabled Dynamic Client Registration, which is disabled by default, are affected. This issue is fixed in version 1.10.0.
