Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 144.0.7559.132. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2026_02_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

 - Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 144.0.7559.132 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-1862)

 - Heap buffer overflow in libvpx in Google Chrome prior to 144.0.7559.132 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-1861)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 144.0.7559.132 or later.
