Google Pushes Emergency Fix for High-Severity Chrome 0-Day

Last week, Google implemented a setting to prevent ongoing attacks targeting a critical zero-day flaw in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-5419 was discovered on May 27 by Clement Lecigne and Benoît Sevens from Google's Threat Analysis Team and had been exploited in the wild prior to the implementation of a patch.
The vulnerability allows out-of-bounds read and write access that could let a remote attacker corrupt memory, execute code, or escape Chrome's sandbox via crafted HTML pages.
Google addressed the vulnerability by releasing updates in Chrome versions 137.0.7151.68 and 137.0.7151.69 for Windows and macOS, with a corresponding version 137.0.7151.68 for Linux, and these fixes are being gradually distributed across all platforms in the upcoming weeks.
This marks the third zero-day vulnerability patched by Google in Chrome during 2025, underscoring ongoing security risks and the importance of prompt user updates.
