Apple has recently acknowledged a bug in the parental control tool of its Safari browser, known as “Time of Use”. This feature was designed to help parents limit the time and access to inappropriate websites for minors. However, it was found that by entering a specific set of characters in the address bar, users can bypass restrictions on unsuitable websites.
This issue has been addressed by Apple, who is currently working on a fix that will be included in their next software update. The company confirmed that this bug affects the web technology protocol and has been active since 2021, impacting iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers. Although it has not been widely exploited during this time, Apple is taking steps to ensure that their parental control tools are effective and secure for all users.
