I'm getting this issue on Zenfone Max Pro M1

Hi, I am ghetting the same on Zenfone Max Pro M2 (build number PKQ1.WW_Phone-16.2017.2007.094-20200705).
It's an issue for security and my work will cut off my access to work applications end of September because of this security risk. If I have to start carrying two phone, there is no point in having a dual SIM phone...
Does it really takes months to look into this problem? This is a serious drawback. I hope an answer is given soon even if a solution hasn't been found yet.
Could you please let me know 2 months gone no reply?
