It said that all Google Chrome users must update their browser on Windows PCs immediately. Why? Because they have found a number of Google Chrome bugs on the web browser. Google has issued an urgent notice for the users who are using the Chrome browser and said they need to update Chrome to the latest version as it will help close critical security flaws that could otherwise be exploited by hackers.

The latest software upgrade is rolling out to the Chrome app on Windows PCs across the globe this week with the new version, 103.0.5060.114 of Chrome bringing four major security fixes, three of which are outlined by Google in a blog post. A zero-day bug is basically a glitch in the software that has the capability to be discovered by attackers before even the vendor has become aware of it.

“The Stable channel is being updated to 103.0.5060.114 (Platform version: 14816.99.0) for most ChromeOS devices and will be rolled out over the next few days. This build contains a number of bug fixes and security updates,” Google Chrome informed in the blog. However, Google did not provide any detailed information about the vulnerabilities found in the Chrome browser. But the two flaws patched by Google are also listed as high severity. Google even agreed that it is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-2294 exists in the wild.

If you are using Chrome browsers, then Google suggests you update it to the latest version 103.0.5060.114 to avoid being attacked by the vulnerabilities found on Chrome.
