Google released an urgent Chrome update to patch a high-severity vulnerability in the WebView component that could let hackers bypass security restrictions. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-0628, affects Chrome versions 143.0.7499.192/.193 for Windows and Mac, plus 143.0.7499.192 for Linux.

WebView allows apps to display web content without opening a full browser, making this vulnerability particularly dangerous. Attackers could potentially gain unauthorized access, steal data, or execute malicious code in affected applications.

Google is withholding detailed bug information until most users update their browsers. Users should immediately check for updates through Settings > Help > About Google Chrome to protect themselves.
