The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a "high" severity warning for Google Chrome. The reason for this warning is several vulnerabilities in the browser, which can increase the risk.

The Moneycontrol report states that these flaws can allow cyber attackers to sit outside to run their desired code on vulnerable systems, allowing them to access the device and easily steal people's personal information.

Hackers can take advantage of this weakness to illegally access sensitive user data such as passwords, banking information, addresses, and other personal information. This can increase the risk of financial fraud and other security risks. According to the report, these vulnerabilities arise from irregularities such as "Type Confusion" in Chrome extensions and V8, allowing attackers to bypass the browser's security.

Which Google Chrome versions are affected?

Users who are using versions of Google Chrome earlier than 130.0.6723.69/.70 for Windows and Mac and 130.0.6723.69 for Linux may be affected by these vulnerabilities. All users are advised to update their Chrome browser quickly to ensure their security. The latest 130 version of Chrome does not have these vulnerabilities.
