CERT-In Warns Google Chrome Users of Critical Security VulnerabilitiesPreviousNext

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a high-severity warning about multiple security vulnerabilities in desktop versions of Google Chrome for Windows, macOS, and Linux. These flaws, linked to use-after-free issues in components like V8, TabStrip, HTML, Extensions, and Blink, could allow attackers to execute malicious code, access sensitive data, or disrupt system operations. CERT-In advises users to promptly update their browsers to the latest versions to mitigate these risks.
