Google addressed eight actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in Chrome during 2025, all classified as high severity with CVSS scores averaging 8.5. Half targeted Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, while others exploited graphics rendering and sandbox protection mechanisms.
Google's Threat Analysis Group discovered six vulnerabilities, with external contributions from Kaspersky and Apple teams. Notable attacks included Operation ForumTroll in March, which used CVE-2025-2783 to deploy LeetAgent spyware on Russian targets through sandbox escape techniques.
Type confusion vulnerabilities dominated, accounting for three flaws that exploited V8's optimization strategies. Two vulnerabilities enabled complete sandbox escapes, the most severe browser attack class. All eight were added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, mandating immediate federal agency remediation.
