iOS 13 will be available on September 19, but Jose Rodriguez, a security researcher, has discovered a vulnerability that allows hackers to bypass the lock screen on this iOS version and gain access to Contacts info on iPhone.

According to Jose Rodriguez, he has discovered and reported this vulnerability to Apple since July but is currently not yet being fixed in the upcoming iOS 13. Jose Rodriguez discovered that this vulnerability still exists on the Gold Master (GM) version of iOS 13, which was released on September 11.

This lock screen exploit flaw was discovered last year by Rodriguez on iOS 12.1. On iOS 13, the flaw also works the same way, which involves triggering a FaceTime call, then accessing Siri's VoiceOver feature and thereby accessing your contacts. From the contacts list, hackers can collect email addresses, phone numbers, address information .

Rodriguez said Apple could fix the vulnerability in iOS 13.1, which is set for release on September 30.
