Arc for Windows v.1.16.1​

August 22, 2024

Experience fewer interruptions and more responsive browsing with the latest update. Arc runs better with every release.

Latest updates:
  • You may notice a few visual updates for downloads: we increased the title height to fix clipping and updated the download progress bar. Thanks for keeping things clean, Sherry!
  • This version updates Arc to Chromium version 128.0.6613.85.
Recent fixes:
  • When viewing Settings, another Settings window instance mistakenly displayed for every open Arc window. This has been corrected to only a single Settings window opening.
  • When choosing a Space icon, the emoji picker would sometimes show blank spaces while loading. Instead, there's now a placeholder image while loading.
  • Certain actions in Settings would result in a crash, specifically when changing your Arc Account email or viewing Account options.
  • The Sidebar didn't show both tabs in Split View if you navigate to that Split View tab from the Command Bar in another Space.
Thanks for using Arc!

Arc Browser CVE-2024-45489 Incident Report
Hursh here, CTO and Cofounder of The Browser Company. We want to let all Arc users know that a security vulnerability existed in Arc prior to 8/25/24. We were made aware of a vulnerability on 8/25, it was fixed on 8/26. This issue allowed the possibility of remote code execution on users’ computers. We've patched the vulnerability immediately, already rolled out the fix, and verified that no one outside of the security researcher who discovered the bug has exploited it. This means no members were affected by this vulnerability, and you do not need to take any action to be protected.

Despite the low impact, this is the first serious security incident in Arc's lifetime. We’re taking this moment to upgrade everything from our internal security reviews, to our bug bounty program, to our communications with Arc members on such incidents.

Thanks to xyz3va for their private report and subsequent public writeup. Internal investigations are ongoing, but in the meantime want to share the technical details of the vulnerability.
