Google has released a patch for a zero day exploit of Chrome.

Google released an emergency update to fix CVE‑2026‑2441, a high‑severity use‑after‑free flaw in Chrome’s CSS component. The vulnerability was reported on February 11 and patched within two days, with evidence showing it was already exploited in the wild.

Google advises all users to update immediately as the flaw could be used to steal data, hijack sessions, or launch further attacks.
