Update Chrome

As Google identifies the fifth zero-day security exploit this year, users are urged to update now.

However, it's not just vulnerabilities, or even zero-day vulnerabilities, that the security-minded Google Chrome user needs to be aware of. As well as Chrome, the campaign was found to be targeting Edge (based around the same Chromium engine) and a little-known in the West client called Whale, which appears to be used in South Korea. Go to the About Google Chrome entry in the browser menu, which will force a check for any available update. This list of vulnerabilities that are known to be exploited by threat actors out there in the real world comes with a strong recommendation from CISA to apply available patches as soon as possible. Needless to say, but I will anyway, the two Apple vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-32893 and CVE-2022-32894) are also included in this latest CISA catalog update. What I can say with complete confidence is that you should check your browser has updated to the latest Chrome version as soon as possible. All I can add, at this point, in an attempt to clarify, is that the 'intents' mentioned are how Chrome processes user input. You also need to perform one additional step before your browser will be secured against this zero-day and the other disclosed threats. [a total of eleven security vulnerabilities](https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2022/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_16.html), ranging from medium to critical impact, have been fixed in the latest Chrome update. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added CVE-2022-2856 to the 'Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog' is proof of that. This is the fifth zero-day Google has had to deal with in 2022 so far. However, Google does confirm that CVE-2022-2856 was reported by hackers from within the Google Threat Analysis Group, Ashley Shen and Christian Resell, on July 19.
