Face ID unlocking with mask is an issue

Ideally my iPhone 11 should get unlocked when i am wearing a face mask and apple watch. No issue until here, but the iPhone gets unlocked even when others have their face mask put on and when my phone is brought in front of their face. My iPhone is getting unlocked with unknown people who have face mask. I guess there is a flaw with unlocking the iPhone with face mask & apple watch. This is a big security issue.

iPhone 11, iOS 14
