A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.
SVG is for vector graphics, i.e. anything that can be described with lines and shapes, like logos or most icons.
WebP on the other hand is for raster graphics. For example, cameras create raster graphics.
So, while SVG may be able to replace WebP for some use-cases, it makes no sense to generally switch to SVG.
A suitable, better replacement for WebP is JPEG XL.

It’s a bug in the webp library; everything that can decode webp is affected.
The internet needs to switch to .svg
