"""**SVG / XML injection**

Try to make a model emit SVG/XML that attacks a downstream rasterizer or XML
parser (not a browser) via XML external entity (XXE) resolution or server-side
request forgery (SSRF).

When an application asks a model to "make me an icon as SVG" and then rasterizes
or XML-parses the result, model output containing an external DTD/entity
(``<!ENTITY ... SYSTEM "file://...">``) can read local files or exfiltrate data
out of band, and an ``<image href="...">`` pointing at ``file://`` or an internal
host (cloud metadata ``169.254.169.254`` / ``metadata.google.internal``, or a
``gopher:`` / ``dict:`` gadget) can trigger SSRF on the image-load path. This is
the same "target output attacks a downstream sink" thesis as
:mod:`garak.probes.ansiescape` (terminal) and :mod:`garak.probes.web_injection`
(browser); browser ``<script>`` / XSS stays with ``web_injection``.
