One Scheme to Rule Them All: OAuth Account Takeover

A malicious mobile app registers the custom URL scheme a legitimate app uses as its OAuth redirect_uri, so the authorization grant issued for that app's client_id is delivered to the attacker and the victim's account is taken over. Scheme conflicts are dodged by claiming the app's iOS scheme on Android or a loosely validated host, and consent is skipped via login_hint.
