The SVG Salamander (aka svgSalamander) library, when used in a web application, allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via an xlink:href attribute in an SVG file.

Weakness

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
