Google Chrome users urged to update immediately or risk attack

Google has urged Chrome users to update the web browser to the latest version in order to avoid being targeted by cybercriminals.

Late last week, the company released Chrome 99.0.4844.84 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, which fixes a high-severity zero-day vulnerability that allows for remote code execution.

In an advisory published alongside the update, the company explained that the issue has already been abused in real-life scenarios. “Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1096 exists in the wild,” wrote the firm.
