Google’s Chrome 86: Critical Payments Bug, Password Checker Among Security Notables

Chrome 86 is now being rolled out with 35 security fixes for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS users. A critical bug is a use-after-free vulnerability that can cause a program to crash, and potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code. Chrome 86 will also send a copy of user s usernames and passwords using a special form of encryption that then lets Google check them against a list of passwords known to be compromised. The feature joins similar services including Have I Been Pwned and Mozilla Monitor in fighting password-reuse problems.
