Critical Atlassian & IBM Flaws Expose Files and Enable Remote Code Execution

Tobias Wienand discovered a memory corruption issue that resulted in a $33,000 bug bounty. A heap buffer overflow happens when a program exceeds the allocated memory size.

Threat actors can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite nearby memory, which may allow remote code execution (RCE) just by visiting a malicious web page.

High-Severity Vulnerabilities Patched

Google fixed 11 high-severity vulnerabilities, including a critical flaw. Two high-severity bugs in the WebML API (CVE-2026-3914 and CVE-2026-3915) each received $43,000 in bounties.

Key High-severity fixes include:

CVE-2026-3916: An out-of-bounds read flaw in the Web Speech component.
CVE-2026-3917 & CVE-2026-3918: Use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Agents and WebMCP components.
CVE-2026-3919: A use-after-free bug in Chrome Extensions.
CVE-2026-3921 to CVE-2026-3924: Multiple use-after-free bugs affecting TextEncoding, MediaStream, WebMIDI, and WindowDialog.

The update fixes several Medium and Low-severity issues, including incorrect security UI in PictureInPicture and weak policy enforcement in PDF and DevTools.

Google awarded over $150,000 in total bug bounties to independent researchers who found these issues before they could be exploited.

Google limits access to certain bug details and exploit links to protect users until most have updated their browsers. This stops attackers from reverse-engineering patches to exploit vulnerable users. With increasing attacks on web browsers, timely security updates are crucial for individuals and organizations to fend off advanced threats.

To ensure your browser is protected, open Google Chrome, navigate to the three-dot menu, select “Help,” and click on “About Google Chrome.”
