What happened
SecurityWeek reports Google moved Chrome 157 to the stable channel with fixes for 213 vulnerabilities, seven rated critical and 77 high, including a buffer overflow in Dawn, the WebGPU layer, and a memory bug in ANGLE. Google does not mention any of them being exploited, and the fixed builds start at version 157.0.8103.38 on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Why it matters
Your browser opens every link your staff and customers send. A batch this size means a lot of doors closed at once, and attackers study patch notes the same day.
What to do
Update Chrome to 157.0.8103.38 or later on every company machine today, and confirm managed devices have restarted the browser.

No exploit in the wild is not a reason to wait. It is the cheapest day to update.
