Three of these vulnerabilities have a high severity rating.Fortunately, the November updates addressed all of these issues. Windows Chrome version 142.0.7444.134/.135, Mac 142.0.7444.135, and Linux 142.0.7444.134 are all secure. The same goes for Chrome 142 (142.0.7444.138) for Android and 142.0.7444.128 for iOS.Thanks to the vigilant eyes of the Chromium Security Team, these security bugs are no longer an active threat.Update Chrome As Soon As PossibleIf you’re unsure whether you’re up-to-date, you can quickly check.
