Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability arises from insecure defaults allowing external resource loading. The commit diff shows critical changes: (1) SVGAbstractTranscoder's isAllowExternalResources() method originally returned 'true' by default (changed to 'false' in the patch), and (2) SVGConverter's allowExternalResources field was initialized to 'true' (removed in the patch). These defaults permitted SSRF via malicious SVG files. The CLI option inversion (from '-blockExternalResources' to '-allowExternalResources') further confirms the shift from permissive to restrictive defaults.
