The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in) has identified several security flaws in the Google Chrome operating system and Microsoft Edge web browser. According to the CERT-in website, these vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions and gain unauthorised access to user data in Chrome OS, as well as run malicious code on Microsoft Edge.
CERT-in has assigned a high severity rating to vulnerabilities in both ChromeOS and Microsoft Edge browsers, indicating that users using outdated versions face a significant security risk.
The notification states that due to insufficient data validation in Chrome OS Extensions, any third-party could persuade a victim to visit a specially crafted web page in order to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Microsoft has already released stable channel updates for its Edge browser that include the most recent security updates.
