The py-libp2p library's /sdp endpoint has been exploited due to insufficient input validation. A library to sanitize and validate inputs would prevent such attacks. Developers using py-libp2p would pay for enhanced security. Start with a basic validation module. The risk is limited adoption if not integrated into the main library.
