QID 150806: Local Storage Found

Local storage typically stores data on user or client's system.

Detection: WAS identifies both local and session storage done via client side JavaScripts.

Cross site scripting may allow stealing of sensitive data present in local storage.

Solution

Web application must sanitize all the user input to prevent cross site scripting.

If possible use IndexedDB instead of LocalStorage.

Use server side session cookies.
