In SVGPP SVG++ library 1.3.0, the XMLDocument::getRoot function in the renderDocument function handled the XMLDocument object improperly, returning a null pointer in advance at the second if, resulting in a null pointer reference behind the renderDocument function.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
