GOOGLE has released a security update for Chrome addressing 18 vulnerabilities, including four deemed critical. The update, version 149.0.7827.196/197, will be rolled out for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with Chrome for Android also receiving a recent update. Users are advised to manually update by navigating to the 'About Chrome' section in settings if they prefer not to wait for the automatic rollout.
Notable critical vulnerabilities include two WebGL-related use-after-free flaws (CVE-2026-13028 and CVE-2026-13032) that could enable attackers to escape the browser's sandbox. Despite no current exploitation in the wild, these vulnerabilities highlight ongoing web-based attack risks.
