Google Patches Yet Another Flaming Chrome Zero-Day Clusterfuck

Oh, bloody marvellous — Google’s back in the news because someone poked yet another gaping hole in Chrome’s shiny-ass armor. Apparently, some clever bastard found a zero-day in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine — that’s the bit that runs all that useless bloat on your tabs when you’ve got 900 of them open. Naturally, it’s already being actively exploited, because of COURSE it bloody is.

The CVE in question (CVE-2025-XXXX or whatever number Google decided to slap on it) lets attackers basically run whatever the flying fuck they want on your system if you’re dumb enough not to patch right now. So, Google has pushed out an emergency update across all platforms — Windows, macOS, and Linux — because, surprise! Chrome is basically one giant neon sign that says, “OWN ME!”

In true Google fashion, they’re keeping the “details” under wraps until people actually install the patch. Translation: “We’re not gonna tell you how bad it really is until we think you’ve all done your homework.” Patch your bloody browser immediately before it starts mining crypto while you’re watching cat videos on YouTube.

Look, this happens so often I’m starting to think “Chrome Zero-Day” is just Google’s way of saying “It’s Tuesday.” Maybe one day they’ll code something that doesn’t have more holes than a cheese grater being attacked by ferrets, but I won’t hold my breath.

Anyway, here’s the link before you inevitably ignore it and blame someone else when your machine starts spamming Russian dating sites:

Reminds me of the time a user called me screaming that their browser “wasn’t working.” Turns out they had 173 toolbars, 12 suspicious extensions, and one particularly angry botnet running in the background. My solution? I reimaged the machine, changed their password, and accidentally-on-purpose deleted their “special” folder. Problem solved.
