Details

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_

Original Report:

> The Oauth1/2 "state" and OpenID Connect "nonce" is vulnerable for a "timing attack" since it's compared via regular string > comparison (instead of `Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()`).

Affected Code:

1. OAuth 1 "state"

https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OAuth1.php#L158

3. OAuth 2 "state" https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OAuth2.php#L121

4. OpenID Connect "nonce" https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OpenIdConnect.php#L420

### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_

TBD: Replace strcmp with `Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()`).

### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_

not as far as I see.
