The latest Chrome security warning in January 2026 has been posted by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) with a medium severity ranking, which might not sound very dangerous but any alert like this should be taken seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The browser is making changes for the AI demand with Gemini which means a single issue could become catastrophic for your data that resides on Chrome. The security agency explains the latest Chrome risk is related to a security bypass exploit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Chrome Security Issue: What CERT-In Has Said<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The security body has shared the details about the new Chrome issue in its bulletin. \u201cSecurity Restriction Bypass vulnerability exists in Google Chrome due to Insufficient policy enforcement in WebView tag. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the targeted system.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Bypassing the security of your system allows the hackers to access all the data and other important details that you would want to secure from bad actors. If the vulnerability is exploited, Chrome can become a potent tool for both individuals as well as the organisations that depend on the browser for their daily work and other tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Chrome Security Issue: Who Is At Risk?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Chrome users on Windows, MacOS and Linux are being warned about the risks and these versions have been mentioned by the security body which you need to take not of:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google Chrome prior to 143.0.7499.192 (Linux)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome prior to 143.0.7499.192\/.193 (Mac)<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome prior to 143.0.7499.192\/.193 (Windows)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If you Chrome on your system and their version is one before these, we advise you to update the browser immediately.
