Google has patched a high-severity vulnerability in the Chrome browser which was apparently being used as a zero-day in the wild. In a security advisory, Google said it addressed CVE-2026-2441, a “use after free in CSS in Google Chrome prior to 145.0.7632.75”.
This bug, given a severity score of 8.3/10 (high), allows threat actors to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Usually, Google would push all Chrome updates automatically, so if you haven’t disabled automatic updates, just restart the browser and make sure it’s running 145.0.7632.75/76 for Windows and MacOS, or 144.0.7559.75 for Linux.
