3 Critical Failures — Standard profiles with maturity restrictions only filter content in the browse/search UI. Direct navigation to a title URL (e.g., /title/81287562) completely bypasses the maturity filter, exposing full TV-MA content details including title, description, episode list, and a functional Play button. A child sharing a link via text message or social media could access any mature content on the platform.; The /watch/ endpoint has ZERO maturity enforcement for any profile type, including Kids profiles. While the /title/ endpoint at least redirects Kids profiles, the /watch/ endpoint loads the video player for all profiles regardless of maturity settings. In a browser with Widevine DRM support, any child on any profile could play TV-MA content by navigating to a direct /watch/ URL. This is the most severe finding because it bypasses even the Kids profile's server-side protections.; The 'Exit Kids' button on the Netflix Kids experience immediately exposes the full profile picker with no authentication barrier. Any unlocked profile can be accessed in a single additional click. While the TestAdult profile is PIN-protected, any standard profile (TestChild12, TestTeen16) without a PIN can be freely accessed.
