CVE-2026-10696 Devolutions CVE debrief

A vulnerability in Devolutions UniGetUI allows a WinGet community catalog contributor to execute an attacker-controlled installer via a crafted catalog package. This occurs because the pinget backend in Devolutions UniGetUI 2026.2.0 and earlier incorrectly resolves names or references, allowing a WinGet community catalog contributor to correlate an installed application with an unrelated, attacker-controlled catalog package. Users of Devolutions UniGetUI 2026.2.0 and earlier should apply the proposed update to prevent exploitation.
