Chrome Urgent Security Update April 2025
Google has released an urgent security update for its Chrome browser to address a critical "Use After Free" (UAF) vulnerability in the browser's Site Isolation feature. This high-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-3066, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, potentially taking complete control of victims' devices when successfully exploited12.
The UAF bug in Chrome's Site Isolation feature stems from a memory management flaw, which allows attackers to manipulate the contents of freed memory, leading to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution34. This could enable attackers to escape the sandbox that normally contains web content within its own process and execute code with the privileges of the Chrome browser process56.
Security researcher Sven Dysthe reported the vulnerability on March 21, 2025, and Google awarded the researcher a $4,000 bounty for discovering and reporting this high-impact security issue7. Google has restricted access to complete technical details until a majority of users have been updated with the security patch8.
The vulnerability affects Google Chrome versions prior to 135.0.7049.84/.85 for Windows and Mac, and prior to 135.0.7049.84 for Linux9. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would likely begin with a specially crafted webpage containing JavaScript code designed to trigger memory corruption10. Attackers could leverage this to install malware, steal sensitive information, or establish persistent access to affected systems11.
Google has addressed the vulnerability in Chrome version 135.0.7049.84/.85 for Windows and Mac and 135.0.7049.84 for Linux12. The update is being rolled out gradually, and Chrome users are strongly recommended to update their browsers to the latest version immediately13. Organizations should prioritize this update, especially for systems that process sensitive information or have elevated privileges13.
