The latest Chrome security warning this month comes via the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) with a high severity ranking, which is never good news, especially when it involves a highly popular product like Chrome in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The web browser running on Windows and Mac is facing these concerns that can be exploited in dangerous ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Chrome Security Issue: What Happened?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The security agency has reiterated the issues facing the Google browser that is running on machines across the globe and used for both personal and business use. \u201cMultiple vulnerabilities exist in Google Chrome due to Type Confusion and Race in V8; Inappropriate implementation in Google Updater, DevTools, Downloads, Split View, WebRTC, Password; Use after free in Digital Credentials, Media Stream; Bad cast in Loader. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading the victim to visit a specially crafted web page,&#8221; the agency highlighted the issue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">his is the same security risk that Microsoft Edge users (both running the same Chromium engine) have been warned about earlier this month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These components are highly sophisticated but the company has clearly spotted something wrong that can become a problem for anybody using the browser and targeted by the hackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And that\u2019s who the security issue could be used to target. You have both end users as well as businesses using Chrome for desktop likely to be affected. These are the exact details of the Chrome versions running across platforms that are at risk:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.40\/41 for Windows<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.40\/41 for Mac<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.40 for Linux<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And as we have said multiple times before, Google knows about these issues and offers a new version to fix them. Users now must download the latest available software update for Google Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux. You can do this by heading over to the three-dot menu on Chrome \u2013 Settings \u2013 About \u2013 Update Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2885566999 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2885566999 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 10, 2025, 11:04 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2885566999 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Chrome Security Risk Warning Issued For Windows And Mac Users By Indian Govt<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
