The issue was addressed by restricting options offered on a locked device. This issue is fixed in iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1. A person with physical access to an iOS device may be able to access contacts from the lock screen.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 13.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following: 

  - A memory corruption vulnerability was addressed with improved locking. This issue is fixed in iOS 13.1 and     iPadOS 13.1, watchOS 6, tvOS 13. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel     privileges. (CVE-2019-8740)

  - A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS     Catalina 10.15, iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1, tvOS 13, macOS Catalina 10.15.1, Security Update 2019-001, and     Security Update 2019-006, watchOS 6. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with system     privileges. (CVE-2019-8831)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability was addressed with improved locking. This issue is fixed in watchOS 6.1.
    An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2019-8747)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
