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

normalized name is contained as a substring within the installed 
application name when a user applies the proposed update.

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-10696 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-10696 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Devolutions UniGetUI, published on 17 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-10696 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Devolutions UniGetUI. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
