A critical security vulnerability in Google Chrome was found and patched over the weekend. Make sure your browser is protected.

If you're using Google Chrome or a Chromium-based browser -- whether on MacOS, Windows or Linux -- it's time to check for a critical security update. On Friday, Google released a Chrome update to patch a significant vulnerability that is actively being exploited in ongoing cyberattacks. Google urged users on all operating systems to update Chrome as soon as possible.  

The security lapse involves a collection of back-end libraries called Mojo, which are used by Chromium-based browsers, including Opera, Brave and Microsoft Edge. The zero-day vulnerability is classified as high severity and has been labeled CVE-2022-307. Google's update patch fixes the vulnerability and updates your current version of Chrome to version 105.0.5195.102. 

If you haven't applied a recent update -- or if your updates aren't automatically enabled -- here's how to check your version of Chrome and get updated quickly.
