GOOGLE has released an update for Chrome after uncovering four security issues

Experts sounded the alarm about seven bugs in total, which the tech giant has now patched up

Google has not disclosed the exact nature of the flaws, so as not to make it easier for hackers

[{"selector":"#anim-14f57dfe-b83d-4051-baa5-936319a65676 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-9.078947323587371%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It usually reveals more once enough people have updated Chrome and are therefore considered safe

[{"selector":"#anim-dadcab27-f222-47fe-a49f-d24fbc06f5ef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Agency (CISA) the flaws meant an attacker could "exploit to take control of an affected system"

[{"selector":"#anim-48f750a5-4c44-4a1e-b52b-b043511886ac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Users have been urged to update to the latest version - 102.0.5005.115 - immediately to prevent falling victim

[{"selector":"#anim-22913076-e2b4-4678-91c1-b9ead6cc322f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But you can force it through now, by opening the settings and going to the About Chrome section

[{"selector":"#anim-57a09d76-868e-4fac-9cf3-179a35502ea8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

"Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix," the firm said
