🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via injectJavaScript using unsanitized string interpolation for image base64 payloads within React Native WebViews.
🎯 Impact: Attackers or malformed file outputs could inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the WebView execution context if quotes were not properly escaped, risking data exposure or crashes.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced injectJavaScript string interpolation with a secure postMessage architecture. Sent serialized payloads through webViewRef.current.postMessage and set up matching message event listeners within the WebView engineHtml payload to handle data securely.
βœ… Verification: Ran npm run typecheck and npx jest --passWithNoTests successfully, verified absence of injectJavaScript vulnerabilities in src/screens/HomeScreen.tsx and src/screens/ShiftScreen.tsx.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 4993197564337671734 started by @TargetMisser

Replaced unsafe string interpolation inside injectJavaScript with a proper
postMessage communication channel in HomeScreen and ShiftScreen, adding a READY
handshake to safely transfer user-uploaded image base64 arrays to the OCR engine.
