A major advisory about Google Security Alert for Chrome Users has been released by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) for the Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS operating systems. These vulnerabilities necessitate quick fixes to guarantee security because they present a serious danger of data breaches, system instability, and unauthorized access to private data.
Serious Flaws in Google Chrome for Windows and Mac Users
Two serious vulnerabilities, CIVN-2025-0007 and CIVN-2025-0008, have been found by CERT-In to impact Google Chrome versions earlier than 132.0.6834.83/8r for Mac and 132.0.6834.110/111 for Windows. Due to incorrect data handling and out-of-bounds memory access in Chrome’s navigation functionality, these flaws could give attackers the ability to run arbitrary code, initiate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, or get around security measures.
Users of Windows are especially vulnerable because these flaws could result in system crashes, unauthorized access, or the extraction of private information. It is recommended that companies and individual users act right away.
ChromeOS Devices in Danger
Older ChromeOS versions (before 16093.68.0) on Chromebooks make them susceptible to a number of security risks, such as remote code execution, spoofing, and cross-site scripting (XSS). Attackers may be able to use these flaws, which result from problems like stack buffer overflows and integer overflows, to evade security measures or obtain remote access to private information via malicious webpages.
Who Is Involved?
Smartphone users are less vulnerable to these problems than desktop and laptop users, who are most at risk. All users are advised by CERT-In to maintain vigilance and update their systems appropriately.
Why Urgent Action Is Required
If these flaws are not fixed, there may be serious security threats, including the possibility of sensitive data breaches, system breakdowns, and data theft. Since hackers are aggressively taking advantage of these vulnerabilities, it is imperative that devices be updated as soon as possible.
How to Protect Your Electronic Devices
Users are highly encouraged to update their Google Chrome and ChromeOS devices right away in order to guard against these dangers. There are comprehensive updating instructions on the official Chrome Releases blog. Enabling automatic updates will also guarantee continued security.
Update your devices right away to reduce these serious security threats and stay safe.
