Totally agreed!
Why is it a security risk? I mean, let me guess, a cop it standing in your
home, and all a sudden Voiceover says: "I shot the sherrif, but I did not
shoot the deputy?"
Security risk!
then the cop handcuffs your mac?
OK, I'm being a smart ass. LOL! Seriously though.

VoiceOver a security risk? That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

Hello Lynne,
In February 2011 I contacted Objective Development, the Developers of
Little Snitch, to ask about VO compatibility. I’ve pasted their response
below. I have not tried Little Snitch in a couple of years; thus, I
cannot say whether these same instructions will work for the current
version of Little Snitch running under the latest versions of MacOS.
HTH,
Bryan
Begin response from Objective Development Customer Support:
"Little Snitch can be used with VoiceOver.
Unfortunately VoiceOver can present a security risk, because it makes one
app controllable by another app. That is why controlling Little Snitch
via
VoiceOver is disabled by default.
You would need to ask a seeing person to enable the preferences setting
"Allow GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch" in the "Security" tab of
the
preferences in the Little Snitch Configuration application.
You might then want to disable this option: In the preferences tab
"Monitor", the setting "Show automatically on network activity" -
otherwise the Network Monitor will be much too chatty :) "
End response from Objective Development.

If anybody knows of a way to configure this with VoiceOver, please share
the info. I’d love to be wrong on this occasion. But our testing has
shown no accessibility whatsoever with the exception of the installer
and uninstaller utilities.
