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.
Last year, Google fixed eight Chrome zero-day bugs exploited in attacks tracked as CVE-2023-7024, CVE-2023-6345, CVE-2023-5217, CVE-2023-4863, CVE-2023-3079, CVE-2023-4762, CVE-2023-2136, and CVE-2023-2033.
Google Chrome emergency update fixes 7th zero-day exploited in 2023.
Google fixes 8th Chrome zero-day exploited in attacks this year.
