Google Issues Emergency Update For All Chrome Users—Attacks Underway
- Google issued an emergency Chrome update on July 1, 2025, to fix an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability affecting Windows and Mac users worldwide.
- This update follows a configuration change pushed across all platforms on June 26, 2025, which temporarily mitigated the high-severity type confusion flaw in Chrome's V8 engine.
- The flaw identified as CVE-2025-6554 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by serving crafted HTML pages, and Google confirmed exploits exist in the wild.
- The update, including 11 security fixes contributed in part by external researchers, prompted warnings urging users to update quickly and set a possible U.S. government update mandate.
- This is the fourth Chrome zero-day fixed since early 2025, highlighting ongoing targeted attacks by state-sponsored actors and emphasizing the importance of prompt browser updates.
