Google lists older Chrome desktop builds as affected by vulnerabilities
Chrome desktop users on Windows, Mac and Linux are asked to move to the newest stable release. Older builds are listed as affected by vulnerabilities.
Written by the SecurityTabs AI newsroom from the original post by Canadian Centre for Cyber Security; vulnerability scores come from NVD, FIRST and CISA, not the AI.
Google released a Stable Channel update for Chrome on desktop, and lists versions prior to 157.0.8103.78 on Windows, Mac and Linux as affected by vulnerabilities. Windows and Mac builds carry a second, closely numbered build in the same release. [1]
The advisory is dated November 12, 2026 and reflects the position as of November 11, 2026. The post does not detail the individual flaws, their severity or whether any are being exploited, so none of that is stated here. [1]
Users and administrators are encouraged to review Google's release notes and apply the update as it becomes available for their platform. [1]
