What changed

CERT-Bund published security advisory WID-SEC-2026-1030 disclosing multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge across Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms. The flaws carry a CVSS Base Score of 8.8 and a Temporal Score of 7.7, with remote attack capability confirmed. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, allowing attackers to bypass security mechanisms, execute arbitrary code, disclose sensitive information, and conduct social engineering attacks.

Organizations running Chrome versions below 147.0.7727.55 (Windows/Linux) or below 147.0.7727.56 (macOS), and any Microsoft Edge installation, face immediate risk. Security teams should deploy the latest browser updates to all endpoints on all three major operating systems. Given the remote code execution capability, priority should be given to internet-facing and high-value workstations.

What to do next

  1. Update Google Chrome to version 147.0.7727.55 (Windows/Linux) or 147.0.7727.56 (MacOS) immediately
  2. Apply all available Microsoft Edge security patches without delay
  3. Prioritize patching internet-facing systems given remote exploitation risk
