Google has released patches for three new Chrome zero-day vulnerabilities, including a high-severity one actively exploited in the wild. The most worrisome flaw is tracked internally as 466192044. While details remain scarce, Google is ensuring users are protected before revealing more. This marks the eighth Chrome zero-day exploited in 2025.
Hot Take:
Looks like Google’s Chrome team is playing a high-stakes game of Whack-a-Mole with zero-day vulnerabilities—and zero time to spare! With three new bugs popping up, including one that’s gone wild, it’s a race against time. Google’s keeping mum about the high-severity zero-day, which makes it sound more like a top-secret mission than a software patch. Where’s James Bond when you need him?
