If you are a Chrome user, be a little careful. Because India’s cybersecurity agency, CERT-In, has warned about two vulnerabilities in the popular browser Google Chrome that can be exploited by hackers.

These new warnings are mainly for Chrome users on Mac, PC and laptop platforms, not for smartphone users. Due to these vulnerabilities, attackers can harm the user’s data and devices. Therefore, it is advisable to update to the latest version of the browser. CERT-In has asked users to immediately apply security patches and update their Chrome browser to avoid these threats.

What vulnerabilities were found in Google Chrome?

According to the CERT-In website, Google Chrome is currently facing a major vulnerability – CIVN-2025-0099. The watchdog also noted that Chrome versions earlier than 136.0.7103.113/.114 for Windows and Mac, and versions earlier than 136.0.7103.113 for Linux, are at risk.

How could this vulnerability affect you?

According to CERT-In, several vulnerabilities have been found in Google Chrome (CIVN-2025-0099). CERT-In has warned that if these vulnerabilities are exploited, it could expose sensitive data or cause system instability. The agency said that these flaws are caused by insufficient policy enforcement in the browser’s loader component and poor management in Mojo, which handles inter-process communication in Chrome.

“Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Google Chrome due to insufficient policy enforcement in the loader in Mojo and provision of incorrect handles under unspecified conditions,” the CERT-In alert states. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a victim to visit a specially crafted web page. Exploiting these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code on a target system.

Understand it in simple terms that the presence of these vulnerabilities in your system makes your system’s security system so weak that any hacker or scammer can easily take control of your system and use your personal data arbitrarily.
