> I understand why they wanted to modify OAuth 2.0, but departing from a spec is a very risky move.

The token described in this disclosure is an OpenID Connect 1.0 Token. OIDC is a state of the art AuthN protocol that supersets OAuth with additional security controls. It's used by Google, Facebook and Twitch amongst others.

I'd do more analysis, but the author leaves off the most important part here (not sure why)
