Vulnerability Disclosure · 3 sources · Updated 4mo ago · First seen Mar 12, 2026

Google released Chrome 146 to the Stable channel for Windows, macOS, and Linux, addressing 29 security vulnerabilities in versions prior to 146.0.7680.71/72 (Windows/macOS) and 146.0.7680.71 (Linux). The most severe issue highlighted is CVE-2026-3913, a critical heap buffer overflow in WebML that could enable remote code execution when a user visits a maliciously crafted webpage; additional high-severity fixes include multiple memory-safety bugs such as use-after-free and out-of-bounds read conditions across browser components.
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued advisory AV26-220 urging organizations to review Google’s guidance and apply the Chrome updates as they become available. A separate Canadian advisory, AV26-206, covers Microsoft Edge Stable updates for versions prior to 145.0.3800.97; while also Chromium-based, it is a distinct vendor release and should be tracked separately from the Chrome 146 patch cycle.
