Google patched 2 critical sandbox-escape bugs plus an actively exploited V8 zero-day (CVE-2026-85046). Visiting a malicious page can be enough. Google shipped two desktop Chrome updates in early September 2026. The first fixed 26 issues, including two critical use-after-free bugs: CVE-2026-84353 in Shared Tab Groups and CVE-2026-84352 in WebGL. Both can let a remote attacker run code outside the sandbox from a crafted webpage. A follow-up update then patched CVE-2026-85046, a high-severity type-confusion bug in the V8 JavaScript engine that Google says is already being exploited. That one lets an attacker run code inside the sandbox via a malicious HTML page. Safe versions are 152.0.7977.82/.83 on Windows and Mac, and 152.0.7977.82 on Linux. Solution: 1. Open Chrome. 2. Click the three-dot menu → **Settings** → About Chrome (or go to `chrome://settings/help`). 3. Let it download the update. 4. Restart Chrome. 5. Confirm the version is 152.0.7977.82/.83 (Windows/Mac) or 152.0.7977.82 (Linux). 6. Update Edge, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium browsers too — they share the same engine. 7. Don’t wait for the automatic rollout if you keep Chrome open for days. Restart is required for the fix to take effect.
