Now, to add to the Chrome pain, some more glitches have been discovered in this web-surfing software with one being given the dreaded zero-day tag. For those not aware, that basically means it has already been spotted by online crooks and is being used in the wild to attack unsuspecting users.

The bug was reported by Clément Lecigne and Vlad Stolyarov of Google’s Threat Analysis Group with Google confirming that it is “aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-6558 exists in the wild”.

It’s now vital that those using Chrome check their settings and make sure they are running the very latest version of this software.

“The Stable channel has been updated to 138.0.7204.157/.158 for Windows, Mac and 138.0.7204.157 for Linux which will roll out over the coming days/weeks,” Google explained.

If your PC has an older version than 138.0.7204.157/.158 then it’s a good idea to quit things and reboot the browser. This will install any pending updates and make sure the software is safe.
