Google released an emergency Chrome update to patch a critical zero-day vulnerability that hackers are already exploiting in the wild. The fix addresses CVE-2025-13223, a type confusion bug in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine that lets attackers execute malicious code remotely without user interaction. Google's Threat Analysis Group discovered the flaw on November 12, 2025, and confirmed exploits are circulating. The vulnerability affects Chrome's sandbox protections, potentially allowing hackers to steal data or install malware. A second related bug was also patched. The update is available in Chrome version 142.0.7444.175 for Windows/Linux and 142.0.7444.176 for Mac. Users should update immediately and enable automatic updates to stay protected. **Source:** [Cybersecurity News](https://cybersecuritynews.com/chrome-type-confusion-zero-day/)
