Research direction

Start by tracing the WebAssembly upload and processing entry point in the repository; the issue names no files or tests. Document the existing handling for malicious and wrongly formatted files, then add coverage so invalid uploads fail safely and expected valid uploads continue to process.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

At the moment, there is minimal error handling for malicious or wrongly formatted files being uploaded via the Web assembly feature. This needs to be made foolproof.
