Not every Chrome update brings new features to the browser, but bug fixes and patches are just as important. On Thursday, Google issued an update for the desktop version of Chrome to patch a zero-day security flaw that hackers are exploiting in the wild. If you use Chrome on Windows, Mac, or Linux, you should install the update now.
Google’s Prudhvikumar Bommana says that CVE-2022-3723 is a high-severity type confusion weakness in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. This is the second such security flaw in Chrome this year, as we reported on another type confusion bug in March.
