Google Chrome and Chromium Browsers Patched for Multiple Security Vulnerabilities Including WebXR Data Leak

Google has released a security update for its Chrome browser, addressing 13 vulnerabilities, four of which are rated high severity. Among the most notable is a use-after-free flaw in the Digital Credentials feature (CVE-2025-13633), which could allow remote attackers to exploit affected systems. The update brings Chrome to version 143.0.7499.40/.41 for Windows and macOS, and 143.0.7499.40 for Linux, and users are strongly advised to update promptly to mitigate risk, as attackers often exploit such vulnerabilities before widespread patch adoption.

In addition to the Digital Credentials issue, a significant data leak vulnerability was discovered in the WebXR component (CVE-2025-12443), affecting all major Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. The flaw, which could expose heap memory and pointer data, required user interaction with a malicious page to be exploited. Google responded rapidly to the responsible disclosure, issuing a fix within 24 hours and updating the stable Chrome release within two weeks. Users of all Chromium-based browsers are urged to update to the latest versions to ensure protection against these and other recently patched vulnerabilities.
