Reported Chrome update addresses allegedly exploited V8 zero-day

A gradual rollout that requires a restart

According to the report, the update moves Chrome to version 152.0.7977.82/.83 on Windows and macOS, and 152.0.7977.82 on Linux. Google was reported to be aware of an in-the-wild exploit for CVE-2026-85046; the rollout is gradual, and a browser restart is reportedly needed after installation for fixes to take effect.

The update adds reported fixes for CVE-2026-85046, which is said to be actively exploited, and other vulnerabilities.

Google reportedly began rolling out a Chrome update that fixes CVE-2026-85046, a high-severity V8 type-confusion flaw said to be exploited in attacks, along with 11 other vulnerabilities.

Chrome is widely used, and the reported issue is in V8, the browser’s JavaScript and WebAssembly engine. If the report is accurate, applying the update when available would change users’ exposure to an actively exploited vulnerability.
