The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team has issued a high-severity alert urging immediate action from internet users nationwide.
The official CERT-In warns Google Chrome users regarding multiple critical security flaws found within the browser’s core processing engine.
If left unpatched, these vulnerabilities could allow remote attackers to bypass established sandboxing protocols, execute malicious code, and gain unauthorized access to targeted computer networks without requiring user interaction.
This official advisory classifies the threat as a severe security risk, noting that hackers could exploit these memory corruption flaws through specially designed web pages.
To protect personal data and financial credentials from potential cross-site scripting attacks, users are advised to update their desktop and mobile browsing software to the latest versions immediately.
Additionally, cybersecurity teams recommend enabling automatic updates and avoiding unverified third-party browser extensions to minimize overall digital attack surfaces.
