Stop over-engineering shit, just do everything client-side like McDonald's: https://bobdahacker.com/blog/mcdonalds-security-vulnerabilities

My friend who helped me research the OAuth vulnerabilities was let go for "security concerns from corporate"

Good old shooting the messenger.

I mean, they were an employee who was exploring security vulnerabilities with a non-employee who has a blog. I would have fired them too.

It is indeed a very risky move without a lot to gain for him personally. But I could guess McDonald's would have forced him to ignore it and shut up about it if he disclosed this to the higher ups himself, in which case I would have gladly left myself instead.
