Official description

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.

The underlying weakness: Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference

The product uses a name or reference to access a resource, but the name/reference resolves to a resource that is outside of the intended control sphere.
