With this update, Google has addressed the fourth Chrome zero-day since the start of the year.
The one fixed in February, CVE-2022-0609, was exploited by North Korean-backed state hackers weeks before the February patch, according to the Google Threat Analysis Group.
Because the zero-day patched today is known to have been used by attackers in the wild, is it strongly recommended to install today's Google Chrome update as soon as possible.
