Overview

This CVE concerns a Mojo-related handle error in Google Chrome for Windows that could be exploited by a remote attacker through a malicious file to escape the browser sandbox. The vulnerability affects Chrome versions up to and including 134.0.6998.177 on Windows, carries a high severity with network access required and user interaction needed, and compromises all three core security objectives (confidentiality, integrity, and availability).

Remediation

  • Update Google Chrome to version 134.0.6998.177 or newer on all affected Windows systems.
  • Ensure automatic updates are enabled and functioning, and verify that devices can receive and install the latest Chrome updates.
  • For enterprise environments, deploy the update via your management platform (e.g., Google Admin Console / enterprise policies) to ensure rapid, organization-wide remediation.
  • After deployment, verify the update by checking Chrome's version (chrome://settings/help) on endpoints to confirm 134.0.6998.177 or newer is installed.
  • In the meantime, mitigate exposure by educating users to avoid opening untrusted files or attachments from unknown sources and encourage safe browsing practices until patches are applied.
  • Monitor for security advisories and add any new updates related to CVE-2025-2783 from official Google Chrome channels.
