Google has released a important security update for its Chrome web browser, addressing three vulnerabilities, two of which are rated as “High” severity. Users are strongly urged to update their browsers to the latest version (132.0.6834.110/111) as soon as possible.
The update tackles the following vulnerabilities:
- CVE-2025-0611: Object Corruption in V8 – This vulnerability, discovered by security researcher 303f06e3, could allow attackers to exploit the V8 JavaScript engine to corrupt objects in memory. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, potentially granting attackers complete control over the affected system.
- CVE-2025-0612: Out of Bounds Memory Access in V8 – Reported by Alan Goodman, this flaw involves accessing memory locations outside the intended boundaries within the V8 engine. This could cause the browser to crash or, in more severe cases, allow attackers to execute malicious code.
While the exact details of these vulnerabilities are being kept under wraps to prevent widespread exploitation, Google acknowledged the contributions of the external security researchers who reported these flaws. This responsible disclosure process allows for vulnerabilities to be patched before they can be widely exploited by malicious actors.
To protect yourself, update your Chrome browser immediately. Here’s how:
- On Windows, Mac, or Linux: Open Chrome, click the three vertical dots in the top right corner, go to “Help,” and select “About Google Chrome.” The browser will automatically check for updates and install the latest version.
