Developers at Google have resolved 19 security issues in the updated Chrome builds 147.0.7727.116/117 for Windows and macOS, along with 147.0.7727.116 for Linux. The company states that no active exploitation of these flaws has been detected in real-world scenarios.
The Chrome Releases blog, authored by Srinivas Sista, highlights just three vulnerabilities identified and submitted by independent security experts among the total of 19. Of these, two carry a high-severity rating: a use-after-free issue (CVE-2026-6919) located within the DevTools feature, and a memory access problem in the GPU process (CVE-2026-6920) uncovered by a worker at Microsoft. The remaining one (CVE-2026-6921) in the GPU area is deemed medium severity.
Chrome typically performs automatic updates upon release of a fresh version. Users can trigger a manual verification through the Help > About Google Chrome option in the menu. This week also saw the rollout of Chrome for Android at version 147.0.7727.111 and Chrome for iOS at 148.0.7778.47, with the Android edition tackling the identical issues as its desktop counterparts. Additionally, the Extended Stable Channel for Windows and macOS now features Chromium 146.0.7680.208.
