Bug Description

I discovered a strange issue with the save dialogue. if you search for the string 'a-bc' in a save modal it throws an SQL parse error (See attached screenshot). This appears to be for any string with a hyphen.

The modal in my case is opened by Firefox.

Could this be a SQL injection vulnerability?
