Recently, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has raised a significant security alert directed towards users of Google Chrome across various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This advisory was issued by CERT-In, which operates under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), after identifying critical vulnerabilities in older versions of the popular web browser that could potentially allow malicious actors to gain full control over your system.
The highlighted security vulnerabilities specifically impact Google Chrome versions that are older than 136.0.7103.113 on Linux systems, and versions 136.0.7103.113 or 136.0.7103.114 on both Windows and macOS operating systems. Among the vulnerabilities identified, two stand out: a loader security flaw and issues related to the Mojo component, which involves improper handling of data in Mojo—a crucial tool used for inter-process communication in Chromium-based browsers.

If these vulnerabilities are successfully exploited, attackers could execute arbitrary code on affected devices, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information and potentially compromising the system’s overall integrity. This may even result in the installation of malicious software or spyware that can severely jeopardize user privacy.
Reports indicate that the exploitation of one specific vulnerability, designated as CVE-2025-4664, is already underway. Cybercriminals could leverage this flaw by redirecting users to malevolent websites or links, thus enabling them to gain full control over the victim’s device. This opens up severe risks, including the possibility of malware installation and data theft without the user’s consent.
In light of these alarming findings, CERT-In strongly advises all desktop users of Google Chrome to update to the most recent available version of the browser as a critical security measure. Google has confirmed that the newly released version effectively addresses the vulnerabilities that have been identified.
Wondering how to perform the update? The process is straightforward. Begin by launching Google Chrome, then click on the three vertical dots located in the upper right corner of your browser window. From the dropdown menu, select ‘Help’ followed by ‘About Google Chrome.’ This action will trigger an automatic check for the latest updates, which will then be downloaded and installed. Once the installation completes, you can restart your browser to finalize the update.
