CVE-2026-10696 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
