The alert from the Indian government security agency, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-IN, on December 19 comes with a \u2018high-severity\u2019 alert to users of Google Chrome on popular platforms like Windows, macOS and Linux. Warnings like these are a concern for millions of users in the country and across the globe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Chrome Security Issue: What The Alert Says<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The CERT-In bulletin clearly highlights the issues plaguing the Chrome browser and how it can affect the users. \u201cMultiple vulnerabilities exist in Google Chrome due to out-of-bounds read, write in V8 and use-after-free in WebGPU. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted or malicious webpage on the targeted system.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The agency also points out the Chrome Windows and macOS versions facing the risk:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.146\/.147 for Windows<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.146\/.147 for Mac<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome versions prior to 143.0.7499.146 for Linux<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The target for the Chrome issue can be anybody from an individual or a particular company that the attacker wants to hijack.
