The security researcher Jose Rodriguez (@VBarraquito) discovered a new lock screen vulnerability for iOS 15 (& iOS 14.8) that has yet to be addressed by Apple. A threat actor with physical access to a vulnerable device can access Notes via Siri/Voice Over.

Rodriguez explained that in real incidents, unattended or stolen devices with a lock screen bypass vulnerability are exposed to attacks that could leverage a lock screen vulnerability to access sensitive information.
The expert disclosed details about the lock screen bypass vulnerability after Apple downplayed similar flaws, tracked as CVE-2021-1835 and CVE-2021-30699, reported by the researcher earlier this year.

The flaws allowed an attacker to access instant messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram even while the mobile device was locked.
