Google Fixes Nine Chrome Flaws, One It Says Attackers Exploit

Google has issued a desktop Chrome security update that fixes nine vulnerabilities, including one the company says is already being exploited. The release is relevant to crypto users who access wallet extensions through Chrome.

The stable builds are version 157.0.8103.50/.51 for Windows and Mac, and 157.0.8103.50 for Linux. Windows and Mac have .50 and .51 build variants, while Linux is listed with .50.

The update addresses seven high-severity and two medium-severity vulnerabilities across V8, WebGL, GPU, XML and FileSystem components. The flaw Google identified as exploited is CVE-2026-125350, a use-after-free vulnerability in Chrome’s XML component.

Crypto wallet extensions operate inside web browsers, which makes Chrome’s security update relevant to people who use those tools. Google is distributing the desktop release gradually over the coming days to weeks, so the update will roll out over time.
