As currently specified, the setParentalControlPin and setParentalControl methods could easily be brute-forced by a web page to change the PIN or clear the isLocked flag, depending on the complexity of the PIN code set. This may be fine in a device-specific implementation context, but less desirable if the API is accessed from arbitrary web pages. How should these APIs be protected from abuse?

Of course the other weak link is the parental control metadata itself, which can probably be easily tampered with
