CERT-In Warns of High-Risk Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a high-risk security alert regarding multiple vulnerabilities in Google Chrome affecting Windows, macOS, and Linux users. These vulnerabilities could allow hackers to execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, and potentially compromise entire systems, posing significant risks to both individuals and organizations. Users are strongly advised to update their browsers to the latest versions, as Google has released patches addressing these security issues. Specifically, impacted versions are those prior to 133.0.0043.59/.99 for Windows and Mac, and 133.0.6943.98 for Linux. The vulnerabilities include heap buffer overflows and improper memory management that could lead to remote code execution. If not addressed, these flaws increase the risk of identity theft and data breaches for users who store personal information in their browsers.
