Chrome 142 Update Patches High-Severity Flaws

An out-of-bounds write flaw in WebGPU tracked as CVE-2025-12725 could be exploited for remote code execution. The post Chrome 142 Update Patches High-Severity Flaws appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Shortly after promoting Chrome 142 to the stable channel, Google pushed out an update to address five vulnerabilities in the browser, including three high-severity flaws.

The first high-risk issue is CVE-2025-12725 (CVSS score of 8.8), described as an out-of-bounds write bug in Chrome’s WebGPU graphics API, which delivers high-performance visuals by allowing websites to interact with the system’s GPU.

Out-of-bounds defects are rooted in insufficient bounds checking, which allows attackers to write data outside of the intended memory space, potentially leading to crashes or arbitrary code execution.
