Remember, the catcher's box begins where the batter's box ends. Therefore, just keeping one's feet in the CB doesn't necessarily make one "legal". Obviously, this catcher was way up and close considering the location of the wound.
If you are uncomfortable with the positioning, back her off. If her coach says anything, note that, in your judgment, being up that close puts her in the batter's line of vision when tracking the ball. You'll probably get a strange look from the coach, but you should be able to sell it with little trouble.

When I've had this situation before I start with a word to the coach between innings. I really don't want to see anyone hurt.
If the catcher continues to "creep" forward, that's when I would find in necessary to clean the plate. I'd look her in the eye and take that opportunity to remind her (For her safety) to move back a little. Just a friendly reminder. David
