Oh, *Another* Chrome Zero-Day. Fantastic.

Right, listen up, you lot. Google’s had to slap a patch on Chrome again. CVE-2025-10585 is the number this time – a heap use-after-free vulnerability in V8, which is basically the JavaScript engine that makes Chrome… well, Chrome. Some anonymous “threat actor” (read: script kiddie with too much time on their hands) was actively exploiting it. Actively! Meaning people were *already* getting owned before Google bothered to fix it.

They’re saying this affects a LOT of users – surprise, surprise. Versions prior to 129.0.6447.138 are vulnerable. Update your damn browser if you value whatever pathetic data you’ve got stored online. And honestly, at this point, maybe just use Firefox or something. Seriously.

Google’s being all hush-hush about the details, naturally. Don’t want to give the bad guys a roadmap, they say. Yeah, well, they also don’t seem capable of *preventing* them from finding these holes in the first place. The fix? A standard heap use-after-free mitigation. Groundbreaking stuff.

So yeah, Chrome’s still a security nightmare waiting to happen. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when your identity gets stolen.

Speaking of vulnerabilities, I once had to debug a system where someone thought it was a good idea to store passwords in plain text… in the server logs. Plain text! The sheer incompetence still keeps me up at night. Honestly, some people shouldn’t be allowed near a computer, let alone responsible for security. It’s infuriating.
