In its recommendation, Google does not mention that any of these vulnerabilities are exploited in online attacks. However, over the past few months, the Internet search giant has released patches for a number of dangerous zero-day vulnerabilities appearing in the browser. (Photo: MakeUseOf) In March, Google released an urgent fix to address CVE-2021-21193, a dangerous zero-day vulnerability. In April, the company released patches for the CVE-2021-21206 and CVE-2021-21220 (in Chrome 89) and CVE-2021-21224 (Chrome 90) series of vulnerabilities. Back in April, a Chromium vulnerability (in the V8 JavaScript engine) was announced before patches were sent to Chrome and Microsoft Edge users. In the same month, Google also patched another critical bug in V8. (Photo: Lesterman/Shutterstock) Chrome users should install the recently released security update to prevent any possible attacks.
