Google Issues Emergency Update For All Chrome Users—Attacks Underway

  • Google issued an emergency update on June 26, 2025, fixing a high-severity zero-day vulnerability in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine across all major platforms.
  • The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-6554 was reported last week by a researcher from Google's Threat Analysis Group and is currently being exploited in targeted attacks.
  • Remote, unauthenticated attackers take advantage of the vulnerability by delivering specially designed HTML content, which can enable them to perform arbitrary read/write actions and, in some instances, achieve complete remote code execution on devices that have not been patched.
  • The update includes 11 security fixes, is available in Windows versions 138.0.7204.96/.97, Mac 138.0.7204.92/.93, and Linux 138.0.7204.96, and Google urges all users to update promptly.
  • This incident highlights ongoing targeted exploits, likely by state-sponsored actors, and may prompt a U.S. government mandate for timely security updates across Chromium-based browsers.
