If you haven’t updated Google Chrome recently, now is the time to do so as Google has released a new security update to address a zero-day vulnerability that has been actively exploited in the wild by hackers.

The first one was a similar type confusion bug in the V8 JavaScript engine (tracked as CVE-2022-2033) while the second zero-day (tracked as CVE-2023-2136) was found in Skia, Chrome’s 2D graphics library.
