Google rolled out Chrome version 108.0.5359.94/.95 on Friday to patch the browser's ninth zero-day vulnerability of 2022.

As we’ve explained before, if the attacker exploits a type confusion vulnerability, it can allow them to execute arbitrary code in the browser. They can also view, edit, or delete data if they have the necessary privileges. We are unsure how attackers exploit this specific bug, though, because Google wants everyone to update Chrome before sharing details.

“Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix,” Google explains. “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.” This is the ninth Chrome zero-day exploit that Google has patched in 2022. The one before this surfaced on November 25 and Chrome doesn’t always apply the latest updates when you open the browser, so if you want to check and see which version you are running, go to If you are already running the latest version of the browser, then you are good to go. If not, you should begin the process of updating as soon as possible.
