Nice find. There is another lock screen bypass that still exists if you hold right click option down before the screensaver activates. I don't believe that has even been fully and properly patched and has existed for years. And now the accessibility features seem like ripe targets for further review too. Makes you wonder just how many other local bypass issues still exist (or have been planted by espionage agencies).
