  - Out of bounds read and write in WebAudio in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote
    attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity:
    High) (CVE-2026-4459)

  - Integer overflow in Dawn in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker to leak
    cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-4453)

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