Description: SharedPreferences is an Android API that stores application preferences using simple sets of data values. Almost every Android application uses this API. It allows to easily save, alter, and retrieve the values stored in SharedPreferences. However, sensitive information shall not be saved in cleartext. Otherwise it can be accessed by any process or user on rooted devices, or can be disclosed through chained vulnerabilities e.g. unexpected access to its private storage through exposed components. This query detects storage of sensitive information in cleartext using SharedPreferences on Android devices. Please consider to merge the PR. Thanks.
