Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In RedisFilterExpressionConverter of spring-ai-redis-store, when a user-controlled string is passed as a filter value for a TAG field, stringValue() inserts the value directly into the @field:{VALUE} RediSearch TAG block without escaping characters.This issue affects Spring AI: from 1.0.0 before 1.0.5, from 1.1.0 before 1.1.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

In Spring AI's RedisStore module, the RedisFilterExpressionConverter's stringValue() method directly injects user-provided TAG field values into RediSearch queries (@field:{VALUE}) without escaping special characters. This allows attackers to manipulate RediSearch TAG queries through specially crafted input, potentially enabling injection attacks against the RediSearch backend.

MitigationUpgrade Spring AI to version 1.0.5 or 1.1.4 or later, which should include proper escaping of special characters in TAG field values before insertion into RediSearch queries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Spring AI version
    Inspect your project's dependency manifest (Maven pom.xml, Gradle build.gradle, or runtime classpath) for the spring-ai-core or spring-ai-redis dependency version
    Affected if version is >= 1.0.0 and < 1.0.5 OR >= 1.1.0 and < 1.1.4
  2. Confirm RedisStore module is in use
    Search your codebase for imports or references to org.springframework.ai.redis.store.RedisStore or related Redis vector store classes
    Affected if RedisStore or related Redis vector store classes are used in the application
  3. Verify RediSearch backend is enabled
    Check your Redis configuration or running services to confirm RediSearch (FT commands) or Redis Stack is deployed; look for RediSearch indexes via FT._LIST or FT.INFO
    Affected if RediSearch is enabled as the search backend
  4. Identify TAG field usage in the schema
    Review your RediSearch schema definition (FT.CREATE) or Spring AI configuration for any TAG fields used in indexed document properties
    Affected if TAG fields are defined in the RediSearch schema and used for filtering
  5. Trace user input to stringValue method
    Review code paths where user-provided values are passed to RedisFilterExpressionConverter.stringValue() or used in filter expressions with the RedisStore; examine any search/filter APIs that accept user input
    Affected if Untrusted or user-controlled input can reach the vulnerable stringValue() method in RedisFilterExpressionConverter for RediSearch TAG queries

Your environment is affected if you run a vulnerable Spring AI version (1.0.0-1.0.4 or 1.1.0-1.1.3), use the RedisStore module with RediSearch, and allow user input to flow into TAG field queries without sanitization.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.0.5 / 1.1.4 or later
Fixed in 1.0.51.1.4
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Spring AI to version 1.0.5 or 1.1.4 or later, which should include proper escaping of special characters in TAG field values before insertion into RediSearch queries.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.0.5 for 1.0.x users; 1.1.4 (or latest 1.1.x) for 1.1.x users

  1. Identify the current Spring AI version by checking project dependencies (pom.xml, build.gradle, or similar)
  2. If using Spring AI 1.0.x (version >= 1.0.0 and < 1.0.5), upgrade to version 1.0.5
  3. If using Spring AI 1.1.x (version >= 1.1.0 and < 1.1.4), upgrade to version 1.1.4
  4. Alternatively, upgrade to the latest stable 1.1.x release (1.1.4 or higher)
  5. Rebuild the project with the updated dependency version
  6. Run application tests to verify the fix works and no regressions were introduced
