PR Description
This PR improves the security of the DeleteStoredData function by properly sanitizing file path before deletion. It addresses a file manipulation vulnerability (CWE-73) flagged by security scans, preventing potential path traversal attacks.
CWE Description
File Manipulation vulnerability occurs when an application allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in file system operations. This could allow an attacker to access or modify system files or other files that are critical to the application. For example, an application may give an attacker the ability to overwrite a specified file or run with a configuration controlled by the attacker
