Overview
- Google published Chrome 152 on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, delivering 327 security fixes across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, with ten flaws rated critical.
- Google says 299 of the fixes were found by its own teams using AI and multi‑agent tooling to speed discovery, triage and patch work.
- None of the patched vulnerabilities are known to be exploited in the wild, but several critical use‑after‑free bugs such as CVE‑2026‑79282 in ANGLE and CVE‑2026‑78899 in V8 can allow remote code execution from a crafted web page.
- Stable desktop builds are 152.0.7977.64/65 for Windows and macOS and 152.0.7977.64 for Linux, and users should update now via Settings → About Chrome to reduce the risk of drive‑by attacks.
- External researchers still matter: a researcher called Goodluck earned $25,000 for the critical ANGLE bug and Google has patched more than 2,000 Chrome vulnerabilities so far this year as it trials faster release cadences and memory‑safety fixes.
