Google released an emergency update for Chrome for Desktop to Stable channel 145.0.7632.159/160 (Windows/macOS) and 145.0.7632.159 (Linux), addressing 10 security vulnerabilities, including three Critical issues. Reported flaws include CVE-2026-3536 (integer overflow in ANGLE), CVE-2026-3537 (object lifecycle issue in PowerVR), and CVE-2026-3538 (integer overflow in Skia); additional High-severity bugs span components such as V8, WebAssembly, CSS, DevTools, and media-related subsystems. Google limited detailed disclosure until patch adoption increases and urged users to update promptly; reported bug bounty awards for individual findings reached up to $33,000.
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security echoed Google’s advisory, recommending organizations apply the Chrome updates when available to remediate the affected versions. Separate Canadian Centre advisories also covered unrelated patch guidance for Drupal contributed modules (including a critical access bypass in AJAX Dashboard and moderate issues such as XSS in other modules) and a Tenable Nessus Manager vulnerability fixed in versions 10.10.3 and 10.11.3; these items are distinct from the Chrome emergency update and should be tracked independently in vulnerability management workflows.
