Over the weekend, Google has rushed to release an emergency patch for a high severity vulnerability in all unpatched versions of the Google Chrome web browser.
While the specifics of the vulnerability have yet to be released, we have seen a similar exploit in Chrome abused by North Korean threat actors earlier this year.
This vulnerability, if exploited, could result in everything from memory corruption and software crashes to sensitive information being leaked, and we can confirm it has been sighted being used by hackers in the wild.
Due to the high severity classification of this vulnerability, we are recommending that everyone update to the latest version of Google Chrome.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss the above in more detail, including what we can do to detect these sorts of vulnerabilities and prevent them from being exploited.
If you would like us to do a third-party security analysis for you to see whether there are factors that might make you more vulnerable to this sort of attack, please contact us.
Dedicated to your security,
