SQL injection in Q&A Visual

Hi everyone, 
While doing testing on one of our reports we uncovered that we can actually perform SQL injection via the Q&A visual .
You can even test this by writting 
'or 1=1--
in the Q&A visual of the Power BI sample report offered by Microsoft called "Sales and Returns sample v201912"

Is there a way to stop SQL injections from taking place via the Q&A visual ?
