Another day, another zero-day, at least for Google Chrome. In an advisory released Monday, Google warned of a dangerous new security vulnerability affecting its popular browser. Fortunately, the latest update squashes the bug.

Rated as a high security flaw, the zero day labeled CVE-2025-13223 is described as: "Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 142.0.7444.175 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page."

In plain English, Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine fails to correctly treat a specific type of data, leading to memory corruption. An attacker could exploit that weakness through a web page designed to run malicious code or otherwise wreak havoc with the browser.
