Google has patched a high-severity Chrome vulnerability that attackers are already exploiting, The Register reports, citing Google’s security advisory. The flaw affects Chrome’s XML component and is tracked as CVE-2026-125350.
Why it mattersThe fix is in Chrome 157.0.8103.50/.51 for Windows and macOS, and 157.0.8103.50 for Linux. The Register says the update is rolling out gradually; you can check manually under Settings, then About Chrome. A quiet afternoon is a good time to let the browser update itself, but this is a case for not waiting around.
Discuss: For actively exploited browser flaws, should automatic updates be enough, or should browsers make users take immediate action?
