Google has released security updates to fix the first Chrome zero-day vulnerability exploited in the wild since the start of the year.
The company fixed the zero-day for users in the Stable Desktop channel, with patched versions rolling out worldwide to Windows, Mac, and Linux users less than a week after being reported to Google.
While Google knows of CVE-2024-0519 zero-day exploits used in attacks, the company has yet to share further details regarding these incidents.
