Google has addressed two zero-day security bugs that are being actively exploited in the wild.

Google is restricting any technical details "Until a majority of users are updated with a fix," it said.

V8 is Google's open-source, high-performance JavaScript and WebAssembly engine for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers.

"Today, Google released a patch for its tenth [and ninth] zero-day exploit of the year," Dunne said in an email to media.

"Google's commitment to patching these exploits quickly is commendable, as they operate Google Chrome as freeware and therefore are the sole entity who can provide these updates," Dunne wrote.

"Google is committed to providing Chrome as a free browser, as it is a critical entry point for other businesses such as Google Search and Google Workspace."
