I'm just scared that they're saved with reversible encryption on the disk, then malware could steal them

I'm also kinda wary of saving cards in the browser. So I created a virtual card with a spending limit for that purpose.

Although there's more to fear from malware stealing saved passwords. Fraudulent transactions can be reversed, identity theft will do a lot more damage.
