I am just guessing......expecting others answer here. 
On the other hand, auth code exposed to RO does not have security 
implication, 
as far as I know:
1. if auth code is transported in plaintext, it should require CLient 
authentication to use it.
2. if auth code  do not need Client authentication , auth code could be 
sent in encryption
