This top parental control app has some serious security flaws

A popular Android parental control app carried multiple vulnerabilities which allowed the children to bypass parental controls, and threat actors to install malware or steal sensitive data from the flawed devices.

The app in question is called Parental Control – Kids Place, built by a company called Kiddowares. It has more than five million downloads on Google Play, and offers all kinds of parental control features, from monitoring and geolocation, to internet restrictions and payment restrictions. Parents can also track how their children spend time on the device, and make sure they’re safe from any malicious content.
