Google Releases Chrome 150 to Patch 382 Security Vulnerabilities

The update fixes dozens of critical renderer and GPU bugs that can enable code execution or sandbox escapes, signaling a faster, likely AI‑driven pace of internal flaw discovery.

Overview

  • Google pushed Chrome 150 to the stable channel on Wednesday, July 1, delivering fixes across desktop builds 150.0.7871.46/.47 and Android 150.0.7871.63 as the rollout proceeds over days and weeks.
  • The release lists 382 patched flaws with severity counts of 15 critical, 67 high, 169 medium and 131 low, and Google says it discovered 358 of the issues internally.
  • Many fixes address renderer and GPU problems such as use‑after‑free and out‑of‑bounds errors that can be triggered by crafted web content and, if chained with other bugs, allow arbitrary code execution or sandbox escapes.
  • Google reports no known active exploitation of these 382 fixes and urges users to update immediately via Settings → About Google Chrome to get protection before the staged rollout reaches them.
  • Security firms and reporters link the discovery surge to expanded internal tooling and likely AI‑assisted fuzzing, Google paid roughly US$90,000 in bounties to outside reporters, and the company plans further releases with Chrome 151 scheduled later in July.
