🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Used injectJavaScript with string interpolation to pass user-controlled image data (base64 strings) into a hidden WebView, introducing a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
🎯 Impact: Attackers could potentially break out of the string escape sequence and execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the WebView's context.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced injectJavaScript string injection with React Native WebView's native postMessage communication. Event listeners were added to the WebView HTML template to securely receive data payloads and invoke runTesseract.
βœ… Verification: Ran TypeScript compiler and Jest to confirm there are no broken types and the build passes. Verified code correctness via code review.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 7746433456148408576 started by @TargetMisser

Replaced the vulnerable `injectJavaScript` string interpolation approach with the much safer `postMessage` protocol when passing data from React Native to the WebView OCR engines. This prevents arbitrary JavaScript execution even if malicious payloads are supplied.
