Kingdom: Encapsulation
Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.
Insecure Storage: Android World Readable or Writeable
Abstract
The application makes the data accessible to all applications on the Android device.
Explanation
Data stored on the Android internal storage using the MODE_WORLD_READBLE or MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE is accessible to all applications on the device. This not only denies protection against data corruption but in case of sensitive information violates user privacy and security concerns.
