As reported by Malwarebytes Labs, Google's latest update for Chrome (version 149.0.7827.102/.103 for Windows and Mac and 149.0.7827.102 for Linux) includes patches for 74 security vulnerabilities. 17 of these vulnerabilities are rated as "Critical," while all but two of the others are rated "High." That alone would indicate this update is rather important, but there's more: One of these vulnerabilities is currently actively exploited.
Because this flaw was exploited before Google issued the patch, it's considered a "zero-day." That's dangerous, because hackers could potentially abuse the flaw en masse before most users have a chance to update their browsers. If there is a silver lining here—besides there being an update available to patch the flaw—it's that the zero-day is limited to Chrome. Google says hackers can only run code "inside a sandbox," which means they can exploit this flaw to take over the device you're running Chrome on. Still, it's important to block attackers from exploiting this flaw in Chrome itself, as well as any other flaw on the list they may discover exploits for. As such, you should make sure Chrome is updated as soon as possible.
How to update Chrome
