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
The vulnerability arises from the use of an incorrectly resolved name or reference in the pinget backend of Devolutions UniGetUI 2026.2.0 and earlier. An attacker controlling a WinGet community catalog package can craft a package whose normalized name is a substring of an installed application's name. This causes the installed application to be incorrectly correlated with the attacker's package, resulting in execution of the attacker's installer during an update process.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause an installed application to be linked to a malicious catalog package and execute an attacker-controlled installer without user interaction. This leads to potential unauthorized code execution and denial of service (application disruption). Confidentiality and integrity impacts are not indicated by the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been documented at this time.
