The tech giant said it is aware of reports that an exploit for ‘CVE-2022-3075’ exists in the wild, mentioning the vulnerability as “Insufficient data validation in Mojo” reported by an anonymous security researcher.
The company said it has released a security patch for Google Chrome users on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems that will roll out over the coming days/weeks.
“Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix,” Google said in a security update.
“We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed,” it added.
This is the sixth zero-day vulnerability Chrome has faced to date this year.
