Vulnerability detected in Facebook Messenger Kids application




Facebook has recently launched a children's version of its application called "Facebook Messenger Kids", to protect their privacy, but it seems that things are not going the way Facebook wants.

One of the most important features of the Facebook Messenger Kids application is parental control, where children can not contact anyone, but specialized media have recently indicated that a number of parents complained of a security vulnerability in this application that threatens this feature,

The gap is related to the possibility of adding children to the group talks. Therefore, it is possible to communicate with people who are not authenticated by the parental control, which is a danger to the children. For its part, Facebook has been informed of this problem and has blocked the communication through the groups feature but without giving any An official statement in this regard.
