Normally iirc oauth will just transport the token in a browser redirect to the allowed domain that linked to the login page. evil.com will not be allowed, or if it is the token will end up scoped to evil.com.

If evil.com requests access to manage my Twitter account, and it fools me into accepting, why does it matter how the token is transported? Evil.com now has access to my Twitter account.
Twitter would need to approve the evil.com app.
