“Chrome in-the-wild vulnerability CVE-2021-30551 patched today was also from the same actor and targeting,” Google Director of Software Engineering Shane Huntley wrote in a Twitter post, referencing that attackers who exploited that vulnerability also took advantage of the vulnerability from CVE-2021-33742.

One of the security vulnerabilities that was listed - CVE-2021-30551 - is related to a flaw in Windows 10 that Microsoft had recently patched with its newest OS update. If you don’t immediately update your browser, Google should be pushing out the update to users in the coming days or weeks, the company stated on its blog. From there, you’ll be able to view the Chrome version number, and you can update the browser if it wasn’t automatically updated in the background. Navigate to Settings, and then click About Chrome. To make sure that you’re on the latest build of Chrome, launch your browser and then click on the three dots stacked vertically at the top right. Windows and Mac users who also surf the internet with the Chrome browser will want to make sure that they’re on version.
Google categorized these fixes as critical, high, and medium importance. The update contains 14 security fixes - including a zero-day security flaw - that if left unchecked would leave the system vulnerable to attacks.
Google released an update to its Chrome browser for Windows and Mac users, and the internet giant strongly recommends that users apply the update as soon as possible.
