11-11: LGTM: Clean state management for error handling.The addition of the
errorTextstate variable properly separates error messages from the main text content, which aligns with the PR objective of improving error display.
35-40: LGTM: Improved error handling logic.The conditional logic properly handles both success and error cases from the file upload response. The error clearing on successful upload (
setErrorText("")) is a good practice to ensure stale errors don't persist.
43-43: LGTM: Consistent error handling.The catch block correctly uses
setErrorTextfor network-level errors during file upload.
76-76: LGTM: Consistent error messaging.The error messages are consistent and descriptive for both network errors and API failures.
Also applies to: 80-80
177-193: LGTM: Well-implemented error popup modal.The error popup implementation is well-designed with:
- Proper modal overlay with backdrop blur
- Consistent styling using gradient themes
- Clear call-to-action with close functionality
- Conditional rendering based on error state
The modal follows good UX practices by providing a prominent, non-intrusive way to display errors.

💡 Verification agent
🧩 Analysis chain
Verify that the version range change is intentional and secure.
The change from exact version "5.0.1" to caret range "^5.0.1" allows automatic updates to minor and patch versions. While this provides flexibility for bug fixes and security patches, ensure this aligns with your project's dependency management strategy.
🌐 Web query:
What is the latest version of react-scripts and are there any security vulnerabilities in version 5.0.1?
💡 Result:
As of July 16, 2025, the latest version of react-scripts is 5.0.1, released approximately three years ago. This version has been identified to contain several security vulnerabilities, including:
-
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS): The
nth-checkpackage, a dependency of[email protected], is susceptible to ReDoS attacks. (github.com) -
Denial of Service (DoS): The
nwsapipackage, also a dependency, has been found vulnerable to DoS attacks. (github.com) -
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): The
serialize-javascriptpackage, used within[email protected], has a vulnerability that can lead to XSS attacks. (github.com)
Given these vulnerabilities and the lack of recent updates to react-scripts, it's advisable to consider alternative build tools for React applications. Modern tools like Vite offer improved performance, active maintenance, and better support for current React features. (blog.logrocket.com)
If you choose to continue using [email protected], ensure that all dependencies are updated to their latest secure versions and monitor for any patches or updates that may address these vulnerabilities.

Action Required: Address Security Vulnerabilities in [email protected]
The change from "5.0.1" → "^5.0.1" does not pull in any newer, patched versions (5.0.1 is still the latest release) and that release is known to contain several security issues:
- Regular Expression DoS in
nth-check - Denial of Service in
nwsapi - Cross-Site Scripting in
serialize-javascript
Even with a caret range, you’ll remain on 5.x without fixes. Please choose one of the following:
• Migrate off react-scripts to a modern, actively maintained bundler (e.g. Vite)
• Stay on CRA but manually patch or override the vulnerable transitive dependencies (e.g. via resolutions or patch-package) and monitor for upstream fixes
File: eduaid_web/package.json (line 15)
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In eduaid_web/package.json at line 15, the dependency react-scripts is set to
version "^5.0.1", which does not include any patched versions and contains known
security vulnerabilities. To fix this, either migrate the project away from
react-scripts to a modern bundler like Vite, or if staying with react-scripts,
add overrides or patches for the vulnerable transitive dependencies using tools
like "resolutions" or "patch-package" and keep monitoring for official fixes.

Overview
This PR implements a user-friendly error popup for the input page.
Previously, errors (like unsupported file types) were displayed directly inside the input text area, which was confusing for users.
Now, any error will be shown in a clear popup modal instead.
