Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Privilege Escalation: Bundled in-process COM registration could allow untrusted DLL loading in elevated contexts when the Native WinGet helper falls back to resolving standard interfaces. Developers must completely avoid bundled in-proc COM fallback mechanisms for elevated components.
Command Injection: System process lookup helpers that execute command shell invocations are vulnerable to command injection if characters like command separators are not meticulously stripped or if argument-based APIs are bypassed. This risk is amplified by external package catalog definitions as highlighted in CVE-2026-10696.
Privilege Escalation: Launching the application post-install directly from the administrative setup context runs UniGetUI with unnecessary elevated privileges. Implementing the runasoriginaluser Inno Setup flag is required to drop privileges.
