CERT-In Urges Google Chrome Users to Update After Google Patches Critical Security Flaws


The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has published a security advisory for Google Chrome users that addresses desktop users. The latest bulletin, published on Wednesday, highlights multiple vulnerabilities found in Google Chrome for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The nodal agency for cybersecurity says that these flaws could potentially be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code on affected systems. The agency has advised all individual users and organisations using Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, and Linux to update to the latest version.

CERT-in Issues Warning for Google Chrome Users

The latest vulnerability note, CIVN-2025-0250, published by CERT-In on October 8, details several security flaws found in Google Chrome for Windows, macOS, and Linux. According to the advisory, these vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker when a victim visits a maliciously crafted website.

Using the "high risk" security flaw, a malicious user could execute arbitrary code on an unprotected computer, or trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. It could also let the attacker gain access to sensitive information on affected systems.

Google Chrome versions prior to 141.0.7390.65/.66 for Windows and Mac, Google Chrome versions prior to 141.0.7390.65 for Linux are impacted by the vulnerabilities, which are identified as CVE-2025-11211, CVE-2025-11458 and CVE-2025-11460.

CERT-In has urged all individual users and organisations to update their Google Chrome to the latest available software versions to reduce the risk posed by these vulnerabilities. Windows and Mac users must update to version 141.0.7390.65/.66, while the Linux users to have to update to version 141.0.7390.65.

Users must ensure that their browser is set to update automatically, but they can also manually update their by clicking the three-dot menu at the top right, then heading to Help > About Google Chrome. The browser will check for updates and begin downloading the latest version. Once the update is installed, you can restart the browser to apply the changes.

Hubble Uncovers Multi-Age Stars in Ancient Cluster, Reshaping Galaxy Origins

Astronomers call ancient star clusters like NGC 1786 “time capsules” for their galaxy, preserving some of its oldest stars. A new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope offers an unprecedented close-up of this dense cluster 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Hubble's data show that NGC 1786 contains stars of different ages – a surprising find, since such clusters were once thought to hold a single stellar generation. This multi-age discovery is reshaping our view of how galaxies built their first stars, and suggests more complex early history. Mixed-Age Stars in a Galactic Time Capsule According to the official source, this Hubble image shows the globular cluster NGC 1786, a ball of densely packed stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 160,000 light-years from Earth. Astronomers captured this picture as part of a program comparing ancient clusters in nearby dwarf galaxies (like the LMC) with clusters in our own Milky Way. The surprising discovery is th...

CSIRO Uses Quantum AI to Revolutionize Semiconductor Design

Researchers at Australia's CSIRO have achieved a world-first demonstration of quantum machine learning in semiconductor fabrication. The quantum-enhanced model outperformed conventional AI methods and could reshape how microchips are designed. The team focused on modeling a crucial—but hard to predict—property called “Ohmic contact” resistance, which measures how easily current flows where metal meets a semiconductor. They analysed 159 experimental samples from advanced gallium nitride (GaN) transistors (known for high power/high-frequency performance). By combining a quantum processing layer with a final classical regression step, the model extracted subtle patterns that traditional approaches had missed. Tackling a difficult design problem According to the study, the CSIRO researchers first encoded many fabrication variables (like gas mixtures and annealing times) per device and used principal component analysis (PCA) to shrink 37 parameters down to the five most important ones. ...

A Planet with a Death Wish: How HIP 67522 b Is Forcing Its Star to Explode

Scientists have caught a planet with a death wish, which is an alien world, orbiting very near to its star, and so speedy that it is causing the star to go to its death with bursting explosions. HIP 67522 b is the planet, and it is of the same size as Jupiter with a seven-day orbit around its host star. These orbits are disturbing the magnetic field of the star and causing enormous blasting eruptions to blow back the planet and make it wrinkled. This is the first time that a planet is influencing the host star, as the astronomers reported in a study published on July 2, 2025, in the Journal Nature. A Planet with a Death Wish: HIP 67522 b's Fiery Orbit As per the study by NASA, Ekaterina Ilin, the first author of the study and an astrophysicist at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, said that the planet was observed to trigger the energetic flares. It has been predicted by the scientists that the waves are setting off explosions that are going to happen. Magnetic Chaos: P...
