US EditionGoogle Pushes Emergency Fix for High-Severity Chrome 0-Day
- Google released an emergency security update on Monday 2025 to fix CVE-2025-5419, a high-severity zero-day in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine actively exploited in the wild.
- The vulnerability was discovered on May 27 by Google Threat Analysis Group members Clement Lecigne and Benoît Sevens and involves an out-of-bounds read and write flaw that could let attackers corrupt memory remotely.
- Google addressed the threat within a day by quietly implementing a setting update across all Chrome platforms' Stable channel, while withholding detailed exploit details to safeguard users.
- The update, rolling out as Chrome versions 137.0.7151.68 and.69 on Windows and macOS, also fixes two additional security issues including a medium-severity use-after-free flaw in the Blink rendering engine.
- This marks the third Chrome zero-day patched by Google this year following espionage-related and account takeover vulnerabilities, underscoring continued threats requiring prompt user updates.
