Google Releases Chrome 156 Fixing 353 Vulnerabilities Including Six Critical Issues

Google has released Chrome 156 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, addressing a total of 353 vulnerabilities tracked via CVE identifiers. Six of these flaws received the highest Critical severity rating, primarily involving memory corruption in components such as Skia, Accessibility, CSS, Paint, and WebRTC. One additional Critical issue is a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Accessibility reported by Anthropic researcher Xinyang Ge with assistance from Claude. Sixty-one High severity vulnerabilities were also fixed across V8, ANGLE, WebRTC and other modules, covering memory corruption, use-after-free conditions, and input validation problems. The update further resolves 197 Medium and 89 Low severity issues. Patches are being deployed gradually over the coming days and weeks to all supported platforms.

Google Chrome Update Patches 37 Vulnerabilities Including Seven Critical Flaws

Google has released a security update for its Chrome browser that addresses 37 vulnerabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Seven of the issues are rated Critical, the highest severity level, while 29 are rated High and one is rated Medium. The update brings Chrome to versions 155.0.8059.80 on Windows and macOS and 155.0.8059.79 on Linux and macOS. Among the critical fixes is a buffer overflow in the ANGLE graphics component tracked as CVE-2026-110152, plus six Use After Free flaws affecting Browser, PDF, Network, Core, SVG, and Media components. The High-severity issues primarily involve Use After Free problems in V8, WebRTC, PDF, DOM, and Media. The single Medium issue is also included in the advisory.

Google Releases Chrome Update Fixing 11 Vulnerabilities Including Critical WebGL Flaw

Google has issued an update for its Chrome browser that addresses 11 security vulnerabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The release includes Chrome 154.0.8037.98 and 154.0.8037.97 for Windows and macOS, along with version 154.0.8037.97 for Linux. One vulnerability, CVE-2026-103628, received a Critical rating due to an out-of-bounds memory write in WebGL that was originally reported in August. Nine additional issues rated High severity affect components such as FileSystem, Compositing, Skia, FedCM, SVG, MediaStream, and WebRTC, including a buffer overflow tracked as CVE-2026-103631. The update also resolves a type confusion flaw in the V8 scripting engine and one Medium-severity issue. Google plans a gradual rollout over the coming days and weeks.

UDP Proxies and QUIC Protocol: How Real IP Addresses Leak Through Anti-Detect Browsers

Anti-detect browser users relying on UDP-capable proxies face a hidden risk of real IP leakage when the browser fails to properly route UDP traffic. The QUIC protocol, which powers HTTP/3, runs over UDP and enables features like 0-RTT handshakes, independent streams, and connection migration that can bypass proxy routes. WebRTC connections using ICE, STUN, and TURN further increase exposure because they often attempt direct UDP paths outside the configured SOCKS5 proxy. Without deep network stack control such as TUN interfaces or socket interception, browsers may send WebRTC and QUIC packets through the host's real network interface. Aurorium Browser claims to solve this by natively supporting UDP proxying so that both QUIC and WebRTC traffic stays inside the tunnel. The article stresses that simply disabling WebRTC or forcing HTTP/2 fallback is insufficient and can itself create detectable anomalies for anti-fraud systems.

Digital Surveillance in Your Pocket: Audit Uncovers Tracking and Weak Cryptography in 11 Top Russian Android Apps

An independent security researcher conducted a static analysis and passive logcat review of 11 popular Russian Android applications from banks, government services, marketplaces, and navigation tools. The audit identified 237 vulnerabilities in total, including six apps signed with outdated RSA-1024 or DSA-1024 keys that violate current NIST standards. VK led the risk ranking with 11 trackers and a 98/100 surveillance score, while Gosuslugi transmitted analytics signals to VK, Yandex, Google, and Huawei ecosystems. Five apps used WebRTC ICE candidate leaks to detect VPN usage, potentially bypassing user privacy protections. Only Goskluch scored low at 42.4/100 by limiting trackers to two, avoiding VPN detection, and using a compliant RSA-2048 signing key. The methodology relied solely on MobSF, jadx, and logcat without bypassing SSL pinning or requiring root access.

Glassbox Tool Exposes Browser Fingerprinting Risks and Limitations of Incognito Mode

Developer and security researcher David Dale has released Glassbox, an open tool that runs over 30 browser fingerprinting checks to show how identifiable a user appears to trackers. The service evaluates Canvas, WebGL, installed fonts, WebAssembly functions, available APIs, third-party authentication state, and audio processing characteristics entirely in the browser. Results include raw test data and an identifiability score capped at roughly 33 bits, sufficient in theory to single out one person among the global population. Tests reported by The Register showed Chrome at 99 percent identifiability, Firefox at 89 percent, and Tor Browser at 56 percent, though these figures rely on a mathematical model rather than real-world visitor databases. Dale warns that overly hardened configurations can increase uniqueness and recommends using Tor or VPN together with WebRTC leak prevention to blend into larger anonymity sets.

Manic Android Malware Steals PINs via Transparent Overlay and Relays Data Through Nearby Infected Devices

A newly identified Android malware strain named Manic merges banking trojan, spyware, and remote access capabilities. The threat has been active since at least February 2026 and continues to receive updates that add anti-analysis features, in-memory code loading, and lock-screen credential theft. Manic monitors 169 financial, messaging, and government applications while using a transparent overlay on legitimate numeric keyboards to capture PINs without displaying a full fake banking screen. Stolen data can be forwarded through other compromised nearby devices even when the original phone lacks internet connectivity. Operators also leverage WebRTC sessions for live screen viewing and remote interaction. The malware additionally functions as a keylogger, intercepts SMS and notifications, and collects passwords, one-time codes, and recovery phrases. Security researchers recommend avoiding unknown APKs and scrutinizing requests for Accessibility Services or broad device control permissions.

Aurorium Anti-Detect Browser Uses AI Fingerprinting Linked to Real Hardware and User Profiles to Evade Modern Anti-Fraud Systems

Aurorium is an anti-detect browser that differentiates itself from competitors by embedding spoofing directly into the browser kernel rather than relying on JavaScript patches. The product generates fingerprints using AI that analyzes the operator’s actual device hardware and matches it to a realistic social profile including age, income, occupation, and geography. Network routing is handled at the kernel level so that WebRTC and DNS traffic is forced through proxies without disabling features that anti-fraud systems flag. The company also published a detailed Cure53 security audit that identified and subsequently fixed four critical vulnerabilities. Team-oriented features include built-in CRM, task management, multi-team support, and a mobile application. The review highlights that Aurorium’s approach reduces the common mismatch between generated fingerprints and the supposed user’s real-world context that often triggers detection.
