Research direction

Open UserImageCollection.java and start at validateImage(), which currently checks the .jpg extension but not the image name. Trace how uploaded names are handled and identify the existing validation or scrubbing expectations. Done means image names are validated or scrubbed as part of upload validation, alongside the existing extension check.
