Google has addressed 14 security vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser, including one that the company classifies as “high risk.”
The tech giant has rolled out a new update for Chrome, closing multiple security gaps. According to Google’s official blog, users are strongly advised to update their browsers as soon as possible to stay protected.
A High-Risk Vulnerability in Chrome
Among the identified vulnerabilities, one stands out: “CVE-2025-1914.” Google warns that this flaw, which resides in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine—a core component of the browser—poses a high risk of exploitation by hackers. However, the company has not disclosed further details about the issue.
The latest update brings Chrome to version 134.0.6998.35/36 for Windows, 134.0.6998.44/45 for Mac, and 134.0.6998.35 for Linux. Users are encouraged to check their current version and apply the update promptly.
How to Update Chrome
Chrome typically updates automatically when users close and reopen the browser. However, updates can also be installed manually. If you haven’t updated your browser yet, it’s highly recommended that you do so as soon as possible.
Here’s how to check your Chrome version and update it manually:
- Open Chrome on your computer.
- Click on the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner to access the menu.
- Select Help and then click on About Google Chrome.
- If an update is available, click Update Google Chrome. If you don’t see this option, your browser is already up to date.
- Restart the browser to complete the update. You can do this by clicking Relaunch or simply closing and reopening Chrome.
Any open tabs and windows will be saved and restored automatically after the restart. If you’re not ready to restart immediately, click Not now—the update will be applied the next time you relaunch the browser.
Keeping Chrome up to date is essential to maintaining security and protecting your data from potential threats.
