Chrome Zero-Day Patched: Update Now to Protect Against Active Exploitation

Google has released an update for its Chrome browser to fix multiple vulnerabilities, including one that is being actively exploited in the wild. The new version, Chrome 152.0.7977.82/.83, patches a total of 12 flaws, most of which are graded as high severity.

The most critical vulnerability is a 'type confusion in V8' bug, discovered by security researcher Salvatore Gulizia. This bug allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page.

Gulizia was awarded $1,000 for his discovery, but Google chose not to share details about the vulnerability until most browsers are protected. The patch fixes CVE-2026-85046 and affects other browsers built on Chromium, including Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi.
