Instal NVDA 2023.3 RC 2: A Security Patch Release with Important Fix

As we welcome the new year, the NV Access team is excited to announce the release of NVDA 2023.3 RC 2, a security patch that addresses a critical issue that affects system access and arbitrary code execution for unauthenticated users. This update is available now, and we encourage all users to install it as soon as possible.

The patched issue prevents potential system access and arbitrary code execution with system privileges for unauthenticated users. While the technical details are not yet publicly available, we will provide more information in the 2023.3.2 release announcement, which includes download links. It's essential to note that this patch does not include any new features or updates from the upcoming 2024.1 beta.

The NV Access team would like to apologize for any delayed responses to emails received over the Christmas and New Year period. We are still catching up on correspondence, but we will get back to you shortly.

For those who may have missed it, NVDA 2023.3 was a significant release that laid the groundwork for the exciting features and updates coming in 2024.1 beta. However, this latest patch focuses solely on addressing the critical security issue mentioned above. If you're looking forward to trying out the new features in 2024.1, please keep an eye on our website for more information.

As we start this new year, the NV Access team is refreshed and ready to tackle exciting projects. We appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm for our work. Happy installing, and happy new year!
