A high-severity security flaw has been discovered in Google Chrome, prompting urgent warnings from both Google and India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). The vulnerability, located in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, allows attackers to execute malicious code remotely using specially crafted requests.
Who is at risk?
Windows and macOS users: Chrome versions earlier than 139.0.7258.138/.139
Linux users: Chrome versions earlier than 139.0.7258.138
Any system running an outdated version—such as Chrome 137 on Windows/macOS or .138 on Linux—remains exposed.
What you should do immediately
Open Google Chrome.
Go to Menu (three dots) → Settings → About Chrome.
If an update is available, install it and restart your browser.
Google has already released a patch, but it only protects users who apply the update. Whether for personal use or within business environments, prompt action is essential to prevent potential exploitation.
