Why this module. If you publish an SDK (Python, JS, mobile native), attackers analyse it to learn about your API’s structure, undocumented endpoints, and assumptions. Plus: SDK becomes part of customer’s supply chain — your bugs become their problems.

The SDK threat model
- Attacker reverse-engineers SDK to learn API structure
- Attacker finds hardcoded endpoints, debug paths, internal-only routes
- Attacker abuses SDK’s automatic retry / rate-limit logic to bypass server-side protections
- Customer’s SDK gets compromised → your API is used maliciously through legitimate customer credentials
