CISA Adds Actively Exploited Google Chrome Zero-Days to Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two high-severity Google Chrome vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-3909 and CVE-2026-3910, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. These flaws, an out-of-bounds write in the Skia 2D graphics library and an inappropriate implementation in the V8 JavaScript engine, respectively, were discovered by Google on March 10, 2026, and are actively being exploited in the wild. The exploitation of such zero-day vulnerabilities poses a significant risk, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or trigger memory corruption through specially crafted HTML pages.
The inclusion of these vulnerabilities in CISA's KEV catalog mandates that all Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies patch affected systems by March 27, 2026. This urgent directive underscores the critical nature of these flaws and the immediate threat they pose to government networks. While specific details about the ongoing attacks and the threat actors involved have not been disclosed by Google, the rapid response from CISA highlights the potential for widespread impact.
For businesses and individual users, the exploitation of these Chrome zero-days means that simply browsing a malicious website could lead to system compromise. It is imperative for all organizations and users to update their Chrome browsers to versions 146.0.7680.75/76 for Windows and macOS, and 146.0.7680.75 for Linux, as well as other Chromium-based browsers, to mitigate the risk of exploitation. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the continuous need for vigilance and prompt patching in the face of evolving cyber threats.
