Google has recently addressed two critical bugs in its Chrome browser, urging users to update their settings and restart their browsers promptly. Despite sounding unalarming at first, the flaws have been classified as zero-day vulnerabilities, indicating that cybercriminals are actively exploiting them in the wild.
The identified issues, named CVE-2026-3909 and CVE-2026-3910, have been patched by Chrome’s developers. However, users are only safeguarded upon installing the latest update. Google has acknowledged the existence of exploits for both vulnerabilities in its patch notes.
