This is the same issue with Siri bug just discovered recently. Without unlock the phone, I can activate Cortana to call my wife.
In order to stop this, I have to go into Cortana settings. Under speech setting, you have to uncheck 'Allow speech above lock'. Hope this is something that Microsoft can fix before release WP8.1.

It works for me even the phone is locked. I just need to turn on the phone, press and hold the search button for awhile.

I think you confused. The bug with Siri is that even if you have lock screen password Siri will bypass the it and won't require you to enter password. I have tested Cortana and she ask me to enter password.

Oh and Holding down search button is a special feature that Cortana will listen to you immediately instead of you pressing the voice button.

Right it is not exactly the same bug as Siri. However, I can ask Cortana to call specific people w/o unlock the phone. Not sure if it is intended to do that, or a bug.

Well, I don't know why, then, but when my phone is locked, Cortana won't even activate, either by long press or tap. I don't even have a password set.
