Google Issues New Emergency Chrome Update

September 12, 2023

Google has swiftly released emergency security updates to address the latest Chrome zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2023-4863), marking the fourth such vulnerability discovered and exploited this year. While Google has confirmed the existence of an exploit in the wild, it has yet to share specific details about the attacks.

Users are strongly urged to update their Chrome browsers to version 116.0.5845.187 (for Mac and Linux) and 116.0.5845.187/.188 (for Windows) to protect against potential exploitation of this critical vulnerability, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

The newly discovered zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2023-4863, poses a significant security risk, with its impact ranging from crashes to arbitrary code execution. It was initially reported by Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) and The Citizen Lab at The University of Toronto’s Munk School on September 6.

Citizen Lab researchers have often identified and disclosed zero-day vulnerabilities used in highly targeted spyware attacks by government-backed threat actors, often targeting high-risk individuals such as opposition politicians, journalists, and dissidents worldwide.

While Google has acknowledged the existence of an exploit for CVE-2023-4863, it has yet to provide detailed information about the attacks or the extent of their impact.

However, the company has taken swift action to release updates that address this vulnerability, emphasizing the importance of keeping Chrome browsers up to date. Users are encouraged to update their browsers as soon as possible to protect against potential exploitation and arbitrary code execution.

Despite not disclosing specific attack details, Google has stated that it may restrict access to bug details and links until a majority of users have received the fix. This approach is intended to prevent the release of technical specifics that could be used by threat actors to create their own exploits and launch attacks in the wild.

Therefore, prompt browser updates are a crucial defense against potential threats stemming from this zero-day vulnerability.
