Hackers could potentially get unauthorised access to sensitive user data such as passwords, banking information, addresses, and other personal details.
This can lead to financial frauds as well as other security risks.
The vulnerabilities come from inappropriate implementations in Chrome’s Extensions and Type Confusion in V8, allowing attackers to bypass the browser’s security, according to the report.
The Google Chrome versions before 130.0.6723.69/.70 for Windows and Mac are affected, along with the versions before 130.0.6723.69 for Linux.
All users are advised to update their Chrome browser to ensure safety. The latest Chrome 130 update addresses these vulnerabilities
