Audit localStorage usage for sensitive data leakage #595

Description

@Marvell69

Description
Given the breadth of localStorage-backed features described across the project (wallet preference, bookmarks, notification read-state, onboarding completion, filter preferences), an audit is needed confirming nothing sensitive (partial transaction data, email addresses from the reminder opt-in, evidence text from disputes) is ever persisted to localStorage, which is readable by any script on the origin and persists indefinitely.

Requirements and context

  • Grep all localStorage.setItem call sites
  • Classify each by data sensitivity
  • Fix or flag any storing genuinely sensitive data (recommend moving anything sensitive server-side or at minimum documenting the accepted risk with maintainer sign-off)

Suggested execution

git checkout -b fix/audit-localstorage-sensitive-data
  • Audit all localStorage usage sites
  • Fix or document flagged sensitive-data storage

Example commit message
fix: audit and remediate sensitive data stored in localStorage
