As I suggested, an OP may want to give an updated session via checkid-immediate. Facebook Connect does this, and it seems like a legit use case to me.

I would expect a decent OP to consider that it goes without saying that checkid_immediate wouldn't have a reasonable OAuth token authorizing scenario and block it. So I agree it's good to call it out in the spec. -- Andrew Arnott "I [may] not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." - S. G.

Is there really a reason why an RP would need the OAuth token returned in a checkid_immediate response if the user had previously authorized one on an earlier visit? Allen Luke Shepard wrote: (hijacking thread a bit) Allen- If I understand it correctly, the OAuth security issue doesn’t affect the hybrid spec in the same way. With the OAuth session fixation vulnerability, the problem comes if the attacker does the following: 1. Request a request token by pretending to request access 2. Force the user to go to a url using that request token 3. Muah! Calculate what the return_to url would have been, and use the pre-known request token to gain access to the user’s account info. In the OAuth hybrid flow, there is no pre-registered request token; instead, the token is returned, securely, in the URL. It is protected by the fact that OpenID requires the realm to match the return_to, and many providers can require that the Oauth request realm also match the OpenID realm. In this flow, there’s no way for the attacker to intercept the request_token before it makes its way back to the correct user. Perhaps the problem is more subtle than I understood, but I just want to make sure I’m clear on the issues.
