“Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 112.0.5615.121 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page,”\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD). google chrome hack<\/p>\n The tech giant\u00a0acknowledged<\/a>\u00a0that “an exploit for CVE-2023-2033 exists in the wild,” but stopped short of sharing additional technical specifics or indicators of compromise (IoCs) to prevent further exploitation by threat actors.<\/p>\n CVE-2023-2033 also appears to share similarities with\u00a0CVE-2022-1096,\u00a0CVE-2022-1364,\u00a0CVE-2022-3723, and\u00a0CVE-2022-4262\u00a0\u2013 four other actively abused type confusion flaws in V8 that were remediated by Google in 2022.<\/p>\n Google closed out a total of nine zero days in Chrome last year. The development comes days after Citizen Lab and Microsoft\u00a0disclosed\u00a0the exploitation of a now-patched flaw in Apple iOS by customers of a shadowy spyware vendor named QuaDream to target journalists, political opposition figures, and an NGO worker in 2021.<\/p>\n Users are recommended to upgrade to version 112.0.5615.121 for Windows, macOS, and Linux to mitigate potential threats. Users of Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi are also advised to apply the fixes as and when they become available. google chrome hack<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Google Docs Bug Could Have Allowed Hackers See Your Private Documents<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
