Google has released an emergency update for Chrome desktop, version 157.0.8103.50/.51, addressing nine security vulnerabilities, including one actively exploited in the wild. The patch fixes seven high-severity and two medium-severity issues affecting critical components such as V8, WebGL, GPU, XML, and FileSystem.
The exploited vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-125350, is a use-after-free flaw in the XML component. Given that most cryptocurrency wallet extensions operate within browser environments, users are strongly advised to install the update immediately to mitigate potential security risks. The rollout is gradual across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms over the coming days and weeks.
