Google did not elaborate on security vulnerabilities in Chrome in a blog post but labeled them 'high', allowing hackers to send users to a fake webpage that could affect the entire computer system.
The blog states that Google is aware of reports of hackers taking advantage of CVE-2020-6418.
In the description of CVE-2020-6418, Google mentioned type confusion in V8.
V8 refers to Chrome's JavaScript coding process, while the use of type confusion is to express a situation in which hackers can add suspicious code to an application.
A Forbes report called it Zero Day Vulnerability, a security vulnerability that security researchers are unaware of but that hackers could take advantage of these vulnerabilities were also discovered by André Bargull, a man with the Google security team who received a 5,000 reward for reporting this.
Google urges users to update to the latest Chrome version to avoid any harm.
