Avanza supports loaning out stocks depending on the account type, it is only available on Kapitalförsäkring because otherwise the stock is in your name (on Depå / ISK). Also you get paid a premium if they loan your stocks. It is described on https://www.avanza.se/konton-lan-prislista/konton/kapitalfor... and includes a section about the risk.

Awesome answer and good to know they are so transparent about this. Wish their customer service had given me the same answer.
Can you use ISK when living outside of Sweden, and still enjoy the low tax and no capital gains tax?
This depends on your country's tax code, but assume by default not. For example, in France, interest on savings (Livret A) is tax exempt, whereas in Sweden it's not. When living in Sweden, I had to pay taxes on French interest.
No, I'm a swede living in Germany
