my understanding is that OAuth 1.0a isn't vulnerable because in that spec, the access_token isn't part of the post-user-authorization redirect (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-2.2 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-2.2) while it is in Oauth 2.0 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.2.2 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.2.2)
So, in Oauth 2.0 the redirect URI could be setup to expose the access token. In Oauth 1.0a, the only thing that could leak is the request token and verifier code, but without the original client credentials, they can't be exchanged for an access token.
