TL;DR

Google issued an emergency Chrome security update (Windows/macOS: 149.0.7827.102/103; Linux: 149.0.7827.102) patching 74 vulnerabilities, including a critical zero-day in the V8 engine that was observed exploited in the wild (CVE-2026-11645). The release also fixes 17 Critical flaws across core subsystems after a broad security audit, with many use-after-free memory issues that could enable remote code execution. An external researcher “303f06e3” discovered the zero-day, for which Google awarded $55,000; update guidance is to manually install the patch now via Help → About Google Chrome and relaunch, with enterprise admins urged to push the update to endpoints promptly as automatic rollout continues.
