Google Chrome Browsers Warned of Security Vulnerabilities; Update Them Now
Indian government has issued warnings for Google Chrome users. The older versions of the browser on Windows as well as MacOS, have been said to be affected by security vulnerabilities categorized as 'High risk' by CERT-In. It is being said that the attacker may be able to obtain sensitive user data without authorization. Read out all details here.

Older versions of Google Chrome browsers are prone to security vulnerabilities
According to CERT-In, two significant flaws in Google Chrome for Mac, CIVN-2025-0007 and CIVN-2025-0008, have been found. These issues affect Chrome versions prior to 132.0.6834.83/8r and are classified as critical and extremely severe. Attackers could circumvent security measures, run arbitrary code, or cause denial of service (DoS) by taking advantage of these flaws. Out-of-bounds memory access, incorrect navigation implementation, and inadequate data validation in extensions are the causes of the problems.
The same vulnerabilities that affect Chrome versions prior to 132.0.6834.110/111 also put Windows users at risk. By sending specially constructed requests, hackers can take advantage of these vulnerabilities, which could result in data exfiltration, system crashes, or unauthorized access to private data. According to CERT-In, these flaws represent a serious risk to both individuals and organizations.
The operating system that runs Chromebooks, ChromeOS, is also in danger. Versions before 16093.68.0 (browser version 132.0.6834.94) are susceptible to remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and spoofing. Out-of-bounds memory access, integer overflow, and stack buffer overflow are the causes of these defects. By running a malicious webpage, a remote attacker could take advantage of these flaws and possibly obtain sensitive information or get around security measures.
Google Chrome Security Vulnerabilities: Affected devices
Desktops, laptops, and Chromebooks running out-of-date Chrome or ChromeOS versions are the main targets of the vulnerabilities. Although smartphone users are less impacted, CERT-In cautions all users to exercise caution.
Serious repercussions, such as data breaches, system instability, and unauthorized access to private data, could result from ignoring these warnings. Since hackers are actively taking advantage of these flaws, timely updates are essential.
