Google Releases Chrome 150 Update Fixing 382 Security Issues

Google released Chrome 150, an update that fixes 382 security issues in its browser, Forbes reported. Twenty of the fixes address critical-severity flaws, while about 80 are rated high severity and the rest medium or low. The update arrived on a Tuesday as part of Google's revised patch cycle intended to deliver fixes to users sooner.

It follows a Chrome release one month earlier that resolved 429 security bugs. Microsoft issued its Patch Tuesday update the same week, addressing 206 vulnerabilities that included three zero-day flaws. Forbes noted that artificial intelligence tools are accelerating vulnerability discovery for both defenders and potential attackers.

One high-severity issue in Chrome 150 is a use-after-free flaw in the GPU component, tracked as CVE-2026-13789. Peter Arntz, a malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes, stated that such flaws could allow an attacker who compromised the renderer process to attempt a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.

"Vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to escape the sandbox — which means it can impact the whole device — are valuable if you can chain them with others," Arntz wrote.

None of the flaws fixed in Chrome 150 have been exploited in attacks so far. Google said the update will reach users over the coming days and weeks.
