The learning is "they lied". After all, apart from marketing materials making a claim, where is the evidence?

Wait, we think they’re lying because an advisory was eventually found? We think that should be impossible with people involved?

    The issue in the CVE comes from direct contradiction of the RFC. The RFC says you MUST check redirect uris (and, as anyone who's ever worked with oauth knows, all the functionality around redirect uris is a staple of how oauth works in the first place -- this isn't some obscure edge case). They didn't make a mistake, they simply did not implement this part of the spec.

    When they said every line was "thoroughly reviewed" and "cross referenced", yes, they lied.

    • I mean, you can't review or cross reference something that isn't there... So interpreting in good faith, technically, maybe they just forgot to also check for completeness? /s
