High-risk security flaws have been discovered in Google Chrome, which could be exploited by cyber attackers to remotely access systems. Following Google, the government agency CERT-In has also issued a warning regarding this.

Users of Google Chrome, the world's most widely used web browser, need to be alert. Security flaws have been discovered that could allow attackers to steal user data. In light of this, the government agency Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a security warning. If you use Chrome, it's important to be aware of this warning. Let's explore the flaws found in Chrome and what users should do now.

This is stated in a security warning.

CERT-In has discovered two major vulnerabilities in Google Chrome, CVE-2025-13223 and CVE-2025-13224. They have been identified as high-risk, meaning attackers could remotely compromise a system. These vulnerabilities are caused by a type confusion error in the V8 engine, which processes JavaScript and WebAssembly. When a type confusion error occurs, the browser attempts to access memory unsafely. This could lead to the execution of malicious code. Hackers could exploit this vulnerability to install harmful programs on your system.

Google has also issued a warning.

Google has also issued a warning regarding the CVE-2025-13223 vulnerability. Google's Threat Analysis Group discovered this bug on November 12th. This is the seventh zero-day flaw this year. This means that in 2025, hackers have discovered a bug before Google. This bug poses a greater risk to versions older than 142.0.7444.175/.176 on Windows and Mac, and versions older than 42.0.7444.175 on Linux.

Advice for Users

Google is continuously working to strengthen Chrome's security and has released a security patch for this bug. It is being rolled out to users. If you see a pending update in Chrome, install it immediately. To protect against such security vulnerabilities and increasing cyberattacks, it is recommended to regularly update Chrome and other apps.
