Chrome 149 Update Patches 28 Vulnerabilities

Google has released Chrome 149, patching 28 vulnerabilities including five critical-severity bugs, with twelve of them being use-after-free flaws that could enable remote code execution or sandbox escape. The update continues a dramatic surge in Chrome vulnerability patches this year, with over 700 bugs fixed so far in 2025, more than five times the number resolved in the entire previous year, likely driven by increased AI-assisted bug detection. None of the patched vulnerabilities are known to be exploited in the wild, and the update is now rolling out across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.
