Summary

Hide ▲

Google released an emergency security update for Chrome to fix CVE-2025-13223, a zero-day flaw in the V8 JavaScript engine that was exploited in attacks. The new builds are 142.0.7444.175/.176 for Windows, 142.0.7444.176 for Mac, and 142.0.7444.175 for Linux, making the patch immediately actionable for desktop users. Because Google says the exploit was already in the wild, the update closes an actively abused exposure rather than a theoretical bug. The rollout is also the seventh Chrome zero-day patched by Google this year, underscoring repeated pressure on the browser's attack surface.
