Chrome 150 Patches 382 Security Flaws, Including 15 Critical Use‑After‑Free Bugs

Google reports no active exploitation, recommending immediate updates to protect users.

Overview

  • Chrome 150 was published on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and moves desktop builds to 150.0.7871.46/47 while updating Android and iOS releases.
  • The release fixes 382 vulnerabilities in total, with 15 rated critical (CVE‑2026‑13774 through CVE‑2026‑13788) and many criticals identified as use‑after‑free defects in components such as the Dawn graphics library.
  • Google says it discovered 358 of the issues internally and paid roughly $90,000 in bounties to outside researchers who reported the remainder.
  • Users should update promptly because other Chromium‑based browsers are running on older Chromium versions and must publish matching patches, and mobile app‑store rollouts can delay fixes for Android and iOS users.
  • Security teams link the recent surge in large monthly bug counts to improved AI tooling that finds more flaws faster, and Google plans Chrome 151 for late July as part of the ongoing patch cadence.
