Am I affected?
Description
Improper Authentication vulnerability in ash-project ash_authentication_oauth2_server allows an unauthenticated attacker to register OAuth clients even when Dynamic Client Registration is gated by an initial access token.
resolve_secret/3 in AshAuthentication.Oauth2Server (reached through __resolve_secret__!) treated any return other than {:ok, _} or :error from a configured {module, function, args} or 2-arity-function secret provider as a valid secret, wrapping nil, false, or "" as {:ok, value}. When the initial_access_token resolves to such an empty value, POST /oauth/register compares the presented bearer token against it and the comparison passes with no token supplied, so registration is open although it was configured closed. The same fail-open affected other resolved secrets such as signing_secret.
This issue affects ash_authentication_oauth2_server: from 0.1.0 before 0.3.1.

Configurations
Reachable only when the server configures an initial_access_token (so Dynamic Client Registration is meant to require one) and the configured secret provider returns an empty value (nil, false, or "") or an {:error, _} for it, rather than a non-empty binary.
