🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The RoomAIChat component was rendering chat messages using dangerouslySetInnerHTML. An attacker could inject malicious HTML or scripts (e.g., <img src="x" onerror="alert(1)">) into the chat, which would then be executed in the browser of any user viewing the chat history.
🎯 Impact: If exploited, attackers could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the user's session, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced dangerouslySetInnerHTML with standard React text rendering ({msg.content}) and added the Tailwind whitespace-pre-wrap class to the container. This safely preserves line breaks without interpreting the text as HTML.
βœ… Verification: A Playwright script was used to inject a mock XSS payload. The screenshot (/home/jules/verification/aichat_xss.png) confirms the payload is now rendered safely as plain text rather than executing. Build and lint checks pass without new errors.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 14673963021814743258 started by @vireapp

Replaced the dangerous `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` pattern (used to render `\n` as `<br/>`) with standard React text interpolation combined with the `whitespace-pre-wrap` CSS class. This neutralizes cross-site scripting risks while perfectly maintaining text formatting.
