Google has fixed 11 security vulnerabilities in the latest Chrome versions 145.0.7632.45/46 for Windows and macOS and 145.0.7632.45 for Linux. According to Google, none of these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited in the wild yet. Chrome 145 was actually scheduled for release last week. Google hasn’t given any reasons for the delay.
Chrome usually updates automatically when a new version is available. You can manually trigger the update check via the menu item Help > About Google Chrome. Google will release Chrome 146 in early March.
What’s new in Chrome 145?
Chrome is now linked to Google Wallet, allowing the browser to automatically fill in forms with data from Google Wallet.
On the browser’s What’s New tab after updating, Google highlights the productivity gains that can come from linking Chrome to Google Wallet, making it a lot faster to fill out addresses, payment methods, and other details when checking out. You can find the settings for this feature in Chrome under Settings > Autofill and passwords > Enhanced autofill. You need to be signed in to Chrome for “Enhanced autofill.”
Security fixes in Chrome 145
In the Chrome Releases blog post, Srinivas Sista lists the 11 security vulnerabilities that were fixed in Chrome 145. These not only include vulnerabilities reported to Google by external researchers but all vulnerabilities (albeit with a one-day delay). Google is listed as the discoverer for 3 of the 11 security vulnerabilities.
Two of those vulnerabilities are classified as high risk. However, neither the buffer overflow in the codecs component (CVE-2026-2314) nor the “inappropriate implementation” in the WebGPU module (CVE-2026-2315) are enough to explain the week-long delay in Google’s release of this new Chrome version.
Google also classifies the use-after-free vulnerability in the CSS component (CVE-2026-2313) as high risk, which was previously reported in December. Meanwhile, Google classifies 6 other vulnerabilities as medium risk and 2 as low risk. The term “inappropriate implementation” appears several more times.
Google has also released Chrome for Android 145.0.7632.45 and Chrome for iOS 145.0.7632.55. The Android version addresses the same vulnerabilities as the desktop versions. The Extended Stable Channel for Windows and macOS now includes Chromium version 144.0.7559.173.
