Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in RedisFilterExpressionConverter when processing a user-controlled string as a filter value for a TAG field. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted TAG filter value to disclose sensitive information.
The issue occurs because stringValue() inserts the value directly into the @field:{VALUE} RediSearch TAG block without escaping characters.
