Google Chrome Fixes 83 Security Flaws, Including 5 Critical Ones that Could Enable RCE Attacks

Google patched 83 security flaws in Chrome, including five critical use-after-free vulnerabilities capable of enabling remote code execution across all major desktop platforms. Use-after-free and memory safety bugs are among the most exploitable vulnerability classes, as attackers can leverage them to gain arbitrary code execution with minimal user interaction beyond visiting a malicious page. Although no active exploitation was reported at time of disclosure, the window between patch release and enterprise deployment is a prime opportunity for threat actors to reverse-engineer fixes and develop exploits. Organizations that delay browser updates — especially in environments where Chrome is widely deployed — dramatically increase their exposure. Timely, automated patching of end-user software is as critical as patching servers.
