Orval has Code Injection via unsanitized x-enum-descriptions using JS comments

  • Disclosed: 30.01.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

CVE-2026-23947 had an incomplete fix

While the current jsStringEscape function properly handles single quotes ('), double quotes (") and other characters, it fails to sanitize * and / characters. This allows attackers to break out of JavaScript comment blocks using */ sequences and inject arbitrary code into generated files.

Example:

yaml
openapi: 3.0.4
info:
  title: Enum PoC
  version: "1.0.0"

paths:
  /ping:
    get:
      operationId: ping
