Original description

### Summary A call to the token endpoint with a grant type of `"urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code"` and a bogus `device_code` is able to get a bearer token as long as they know a valid client ID enabled for the device workflow. ### Details [Section 3.4 of the RFC 8628 spec](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8628#section-3.4) says that the token endpoint should take in `device_code` as a required parameter.`DeviceCodeGrant.validate_token_request` does not perform any validation of `device_code`. `DeviceCodeGrant.validate_token_request` should be validating that `device_code` was passed in as a parameter and that it is valid, similar to how `AuthorizationCodeGrant.validate_token_request` does the checks [here](https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/blob/a015b446622f2b925517501fe484c10eff7a83c0/oauthlib/oauth2/rfc6749/grant_types/authorization_code.py#L446) and [here](https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/blob/a015b446622f2b925517501fe484c10eff7a83c0/oauthlib/oauth2/rfc6749/grant_types/authorization_code.py#L483). I would like to propose a new method be added to `RequestValidator` called `validate_device_code` that is similar to the `validate_code` method and is called inside of `DeviceCodeGrant.validate_token_request`. ### PoC Create an implementation of `RequestValidation.authenticate_client` that returns `True` if the client's `client_type` is `"public"`. You would find yourself in this scenario because there's another issue with `DeviceCodeGrant.validate_token_request` where it doesn't properly handle public clients (see https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/issues/919). Create a client that has a `client_type` of `"public"` and set it's `grant_type` to `"urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code"`. With this implementation of `RequestValidation.authenticate_client` done, use that validator for your token endpoint. Call the token endpoint with a body of ``` { "client_id": <ID of the public client you made>, "grant_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code", "device_code": <anything you want since it's not validated> } ``` You now have a bearer token for the client without a valid `device_code`. ### Impact Anyone using the RFC 8628 device workflow in oauthlib that doesn't realize the `device_code` parameter is not being validated.
