Google just launched an emergency update designed to patch a critical security risk.

This software update is especially vital because it fixes a so-called "zero-day" flaw, an industry term that refers to a flaw that hackers are already aware of -- meaning it's a race against time to release the patch to as many people as possible. It literally means the developers have had zero days to prepare for a fix.

If you don't update to the latest version of Chrome, your web browser will be defenceless against hackers, who could potentially swoop in and steal sensitive information from your device.

After becoming aware of the zero-day vulnerability, Google confirmed, "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-14174 exists in the wild. We would also like to thank all security researchers that worked with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel."

If you have automatic updates set up on your browser, then it's highly likely that the update is already with you.
