Such is the severity of the risk, that Google also confirmed that ahead of this update, The issue 'was mitigated on 2025-05-28 by a configuration change' pushed out to all platforms. Google says it 'is aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-5419 exists in the wild,' and that full access to details on the vulnerability will 'be be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven't yet fixed.' CVE-2025-5419 is an out of bounds read and write in V8, the type of dangerous memory flaw typically found and fixed on the world's most popular browser.

There is already a U.S. government mandate for federal staff to update Chrome by Thursday or stop using the browser, after a separate attack warning.

There is a second fix included in this emergency update — CVE-2025-5068 is another memory issue, a 'use after free in Blink,' that was disclosed by an external researcher. NIST warns that CVE-2025-5419 'allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page,' and that it applies across Chromium, suggesting other browsers will also issue emergency patches. As usual, you should a flag on your browser that see the update has downloaded. You need to restart Chrome to ensure it takes full effect. All your normal tabs will then reopen — unless you elect not to do that. But your Incognito tabs will not reopen, so make sure you save any work or copy down any URLs you want to revisit.
