CVE-2026-10696: CWE-706 in Devolutions UniGetUI
Use of an incorrectly resolved name or reference in the pinget backend in Devolutions UniGetUI 2026.2.0 and earlier allows a WinGet community catalog contributor to cause an installed application to be correlated to an unrelated, attacker-controlled catalog package and to execute an attacker-controlled installer via a crafted catalog package whose normalized name is contained as a substring within the installed application name when a user applies the proposed update.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Devolutions UniGetUI (versions 2026.2.0 and earlier) involves the use of an incorrectly resolved name or reference in the pinget backend. A WinGet community catalog contributor can craft a catalog package whose normalized name is a substring of an installed application name, causing the installed application to be incorrectly correlated to the attacker-controlled package. When a user applies the proposed update, this leads to execution of an attacker-controlled installer. The weakness is classified as CWE-706 (Use of Incorrectly Resolved Name or Reference). No CVSS score or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker who can contribute to the WinGet community catalog may cause an installed application to be associated with a malicious package. This can lead to execution of an attacker-controlled installer on the victim's system when the user applies the update, potentially resulting in unauthorized code execution or system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or mitigation has been published by Devolutions at this time.
