India’s Cyber Agency Warns Chrome Users to Update Now

CERT-In says multiple Chrome flaws could enable remote attacks unless users install version 143.0.7499.40/41 or later.

Overview

  • The high-severity advisory covers Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux, with builds prior to 143.0.7499.40/41 identified as vulnerable.
  • CERT-In cites issues including type confusion and race conditions in V8 plus use-after-free bugs in Digital Credentials and media components.
  • Attackers could exploit the flaws via a specially crafted web page to run code, steal data, bypass protections or gain elevated privileges.
  • Users are instructed to check Help > About Google Chrome to trigger the update and to relaunch the browser because fixes apply only after restart.
  • Outlets note related risk for other Chromium-based browsers, with Microsoft Edge users having received similar warnings earlier this month.
