Google has issued an emergency update for Chrome users, after its own Threat Analysis Group discovered and reported an actively exploited vulnerability last week. When a single security fix is rolled out this quickly, it’s critical to update immediately.
Google warns it is “aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-6554 exists in the wild,” and that “access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed.”
What You Should Do
- Update your Chrome browser to versions 138.0.7204.96/.97 for Windows, 138.0.7204.92/.93 for macOS
- If you’re unsure whether your browser is up to date, go to Settings > Help > About Google Chrome — it should trigger the latest update automatically.
- BMT Managed Services Clients, this has been taken care of for you!
