AI Summary

Google patched a record 1,442 security flaws across three recent Chrome releases — 1,072 bugs in versions 149 and 150 alone, surpassing the combined total from the prior 23 milestones, with AI tooling credited for the surge in vulnerability discovery. Chrome 151 added another 370 fixes, 349 of which were found by Google internally. Security teams managing Chrome deployments should treat this as an urgent signal to enforce rapid update cadences, as the sheer volume of patched flaws indicates a substantially expanded attack surface was previously unaddressed.
