network.<\/p>\n<p>Fabian Densborn and Bernhard Gr\u00fcndling of the SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab discovered the vulnerabilities and found that the parent web dashboards were susceptible to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being &#8220;easily bypassed&#8221; by the children they aim to protect, the buggy apps also make it fairly easy for miscreants to access both parents&#8217; and kids&#8217; data and devices, the researchers said in a report published on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"condor\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,\">\n        <noscript><br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2Y6J-IleFiq6RTwSi2P8DMAAAAFI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2Y6J-IleFiq6RTwSi2P8DMAAAAFI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/>\n            <\/a><br \/>\n        <\/noscript>\n    <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab is already in contact with some of the vendors mentioned below through our responsible disclosure process,&#8221;

However, it could also be misused to allow attackers to access a backup, and then steal sensitive configuration files or private data stored on the device, according to the researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, several of the apps allowed plain text connections, which enables the app to use unencrypted communication. &#8220;For example, a simple man-in-the-middle attack could be used to sniff user credentials or other personally identifiable information,&#8221; the duo wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even the apps that did have measures in place such as certificate pinning to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks, &#8220;could easily be circumvented by using the <a href=\"https:\/\/codeshare.frida.re\/@pcipolloni\/universal-android-ssl-pinning-bypass-with-frida\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Universal SSL Pinning Bypass<\/a> script for <a href=\"https:\/\/frida.re\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Frida<\/a>,&#8221; they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also highlighted privacy concerns surrounding these apps, which store and transmit sensitive information including the list of installed apps, contacts, photos, GPS location, call metadata, childrens&#8217; usage of the apps, and in some cases full contents of text messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the app vendors&#8217; locations raise some data security and privacy flags, too. &#8220;For example, the web dashboard of Find My Kids sends varying amounts of data \u2013 depending on the mouse movement \u2013 to a Russian tracking domain (mc.yandex.ru),&#8221; the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\">\n            <noscript><br \/>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Y6J-IleFiq6RTwSi2P8DMAAAAFI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Y6J-IleFiq6RTwSi2P8DMAAAAFI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/>\n                <\/a><br \/>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/div>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the solution to preventing kids from seeing harmful content online while also protecting data and devices from intruders? Unfortunately there is no magic bullet, and, as with all third-party apps, it&#8217;s up to the user to review the vendor&#8217;s terms and conditions as well as data, collection, retention and privacy policies \u2014 and, ideally, to verify the information that the vendor provides.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Densborn and Gr\u00fcndling, noted, &#8220;parental control applications all seem to have various flaws, so it sadly comes down to your own risk assessment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words: software, like life, is inherently flawed.
