CVE-2017-18924: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
** DISPUTED ** oauth2-server (aka node-oauth2-server) implements OAuth without PKCE. It does not prevent authorization code injection. This is similar to CVE-2020-7692. NOTE: the vendor states ‘As RFC7636 is an extension, I think the claim in the Readme of “RFC compliant” is valid and not misleading and I also therefore wouldn’t describe this as a “vulnerability” with the library per se.’
