Too Long; Didn't Read

Windows Sticky Keys Exploit: The War Veteran That Never Dies. It's a Windows privilege escalation exploit that allows you to get a command prompt window with administrative privileges. It happened for the first time on Windows XP and more than 15 years later, it’s threatening to side with other Windows iconic exploits. The exploit is not a vulnerability, but the exploit itself is being exploited through the user's lack of security measures, so it ends being a user responsibility. Microsoft has taken a few measures to protect users to protect against this exploit.
