This is a core part of the protocol, that's not exactly simple (https://spec.matrix.org/v1.17/server-server-api/#authorization-rules)

They just have TODO comments, and happily accept anything, even if it's blatantly forged

$// Process incoming PDUs Nick Kuntz, 6 days ago for (const pdu of pdus || []) { try { // TODO: Validate PDU signature // TODO: Check authorization // TODO: Store event pduResults[pdu.event_id] = {}; } catch (e: any) { pduResults[pdu.event_id] = { error: e.message || 'Unknown error', }; } }$
