Google Chrome is one of the most widely used web browsers worldwide. If you're using Chrome for your day-to-day tasks, here is a warning for you. It's crucial to update your Google browser immediately! This is due to a dangerous exploit discovered recently by Google that can pose a significant risk to your device. In a blog post, Google has confirmed that the exploit affects Chrome on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Google has detected two security issues in the Chrome browser and acknowledges active exploitation of the flaw, stating that "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2023-2033 exists in the wild."

Google's Threat Analysis Group identified the vulnerability, but a patch could not be developed before the initial Chrome exploits were detected. To address this security threat, Google has released a new Chrome update on the stable channel, and users should update their browsers as soon as possible. The latest version, 112.0.5615.121, will be rolled out gradually over the coming days or weeks.
