"Google has just released a massive security overhaul for Chrome, patching 30 different vulnerabilities in a single go. The update, which brings the browser to version 147.0.7727.137/138, addresses four Critical flaws that could allow hackers to take control of your computer."
"Most of the vulnerabilities Google fixed this week fall into a category called 'Use-After-Free' (UAF), which basically means the browser is getting confused about how it handles its own memory."
"Of the 30 fixes, four are rated as Critical, the highest possible risk level. These bugs affected everything from how the browser draws graphics (Canvas) to how it handles accessibility features for users with disabilities."
"Independent researchers who helped find these flaws are being rewarded handsomely. One researcher, known as heapracer, snagged $7,000 for reporting CVE-2026-7363, a critical flaw in the Canvas component."
