Google released a Stable Channel Update for Desktop to fix CVE-2025-2783, a critical Chrome zero-day affecting Windows that allows a sandbox escape through a logical error at the browser and operating system interface. The flaw is in Chrome's Mojo component, carries a CVSS 9.8 rating, and affects versions earlier than 134.0.6998.177.
Security researchers at Kaspersky, Boris Larin and Igor Kuznetsov, discovered the vulnerability, and CSIRT.SK reported that it was being actively exploited in attacks targeting Russian companies. Users were urged to update Chrome immediately to versions 134.0.6998.177 or 134.0.6998.178, and organizations using other Chromium-based browsers were advised to apply corresponding vendor patches as they become available.

Google released an urgent *Chrome for Desktop* Stable Channel update to address **CVE-2026-2441**, a high-severity zero-day that Google said has an exploit **active in the wild**. The issue is a **use-after-free in Chrome’s CSS component**, a memory-corruption flaw that can enable code execution in the browser context when a user visits a malicious or compromised webpage; the vulnerability was reported to Google by researcher **Shaheen Fazim**. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security echoed the need to patch Chrome, advising organizations to update beyond affected Stable Channel versions (Windows/Mac prior to `145.0.7632.68` and Linux prior to `144.0.7559.67`), while third-party reporting indicated patched Stable builds rolling out to `145.0.7632.75/.76` (Windows/Mac) and `144.0.7559.75` (Linux). Other Canadian Centre advisories published in the same period covered unrelated vendor patches for **Tenable Nessus Agent** (CVE-2026-2026), **Juniper Secure Analytics (JSA)**, **HPE SimpliVity** (Intel firmware advisories), and **PostgreSQL** point releases; these are separate remediation items and not part of the Chrome zero-day event.

Google released an out-of-band *Chrome Stable* update to fix **CVE-2026-2441**, a high-severity, actively exploited zero-day caused by a **use-after-free in Chrome’s CSS processing**. The flaw allows a remote attacker to trigger **arbitrary code execution within Chrome’s sandbox** via a crafted HTML page, making drive-by exploitation feasible if a user visits a malicious or compromised site. The issue is scored **CVSS 8.8** and has been characterized as **extremely high risk** due to confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. The patched versions include **Chrome 145.0.7632.75** (and `.76` per platform guidance) for Windows and macOS, and **144.0.7559.75** for Linux; organizations should prioritize rapid browser updates across managed endpoints. Public reporting credits **Shaheen Fazim** with discovering and reporting the vulnerability (reported Feb 11, 2026), while Google has not disclosed exploit details, threat actor attribution, or targeting information beyond confirming that an exploit exists in the wild.

Google released an urgent **Chrome stable channel** update to address two **high-severity zero-day vulnerabilities** that the company says are being **actively exploited in the wild**. The patched versions are `146.0.7680.75/76` for **Windows and macOS** and `146.0.7680.75` for **Linux**, with rollout occurring over days to weeks. The flaws were reported internally by Google on March 10, and Google said access to additional bug details may remain restricted until most users have updated. The two vulnerabilities are **CVE-2026-3909**, an **out-of-bounds write in Skia**, and **CVE-2026-3910**, an **inappropriate implementation in V8**. Both components are high-value targets because they sit in Chrome’s rendering and JavaScript execution paths, creating opportunities for malicious webpages to trigger memory corruption or unsafe browser behavior that could lead to **arbitrary code execution**. The update is a substantive security release rather than routine product news because Google explicitly confirmed that exploits exist for both issues, making rapid patching a priority for enterprises and end users.
