Google on Monday released<\/a> updates to patch nine security vulnerabilities, including one that has come under active exploitation in the wild.<\/p>\n

The high-severity vulnerability, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2026-125350<\/strong> (CVSS score: N\/A), has been described as a use-after-free bug in the XML component.<\/p>\n

Use-after-free bugs typically occur when a program attempts to access a memory location after it has already been freed. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to achieve data corruption, program crashes, or arbitrary code execution.<\/p>\n

An anonymous security researcher has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw on November 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

Google acknowledged it is \u00abaware that an exploit for CVE-2026-125350 exists in the wild,\u00bb but has not revealed any additional specific information related to how it’s being abused in real-world attacks or who is behind them.<\/p>\n

\u00abAccess to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix,\u00bb the tech giant added. \u00abWe will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed.\u00bb<\/p>\n

With the latest development, Google has addressed a total of eight actively exploited Chrome zero-days since the start of the year. This includes CVE-2026-2441, CVE-2026-3909, CVE-2026-3910, CVE-2026-5281, CVE-2026-11645, CVE-2026-85046, and CVE-2026-87491.<\/p>\n

For optimal protection, users are advised to update their Chrome browser to versions 157.0.8103.50\/.51 for Windows and Apple macOS, and 157.0.8103.50 for Linux. To ensure the latest updates are installed, users can navigate to More > Help > About Google Chrome and select Relaunch.<\/p>\n

Users of other Chromium-based browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi, are also advised to apply the fixes as and when they become available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
