According to Tyler Spivey’s blog, a security vulnerability exists in JAWS 10 allowing a user to gain access to the command prompt as an administrator from the login screen. It allows an attacker to gain full system access to the computer, according to the post. We were not able to verify the claim, but steps to try it for yourself are linked from this post if you have access to a copy of JAWS. Version 11 of the screen reader is expected very soon.
