CVE-2019-18854
A denial of service flaw was identified in Safe SVG plugin versions up to 1.9.4 that allows an attacker to trigger unbounded recursive processing when the plugin encounters SVG `<use>` elements with `xlink:href` attributes referencing internal identifiers. This recursive behavior can exhaust server resources and crash the application. The vulnerability was patched in version 1.9.5.
