In a security advisory published on Monday, Google released details about an emergency security update that was issued to fix the seventh zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks against Chrome this year. The zero-day in question (tracked as CVE-2025-13223) is categorized as a high-severity vulnerability and there's also an exploit that has been used in the wild, according to the company.
Google has fixed the flaw, and new versions will roll out to users via the Stable Desktop channel throughout the coming weeks, however a patch may be immediately available if you check for updates. Though the browser does automatically update whenever security patches are made available, users can make sure they’re installed by going to Chrome > Help > About Google Chrome and then clicking Relaunch once the installation process is complete.
