Think of it like a restaurant kitchen where a chef is overwhelmed by a sudden flood of orders — chaos ensues, and everything comes to a halt. In this case, if the SVG processing goes haywire, it can lead to a denial of service, leaving users hanging! An attacker could cause the browser to crash or behave unpredictably, which is absolutely devastating for user experience. While there are no known exploits, the potential for other unspecified issues keeps the alarm bells ringing.
