The Siemens and Google Chrome products are experiencing problems, according to a warning from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). These vulnerabilities may enable malicious actors to run any code on the intended machine.

Parasolid, SIMATIC RTLS, Simcenter Nastran, SIMATIC CN 4100, RUGGEDCOM, Solid Edge, Teamcenter Visualization, JT2G, CPC80, CPCI85, and six more Siemens products are reportedly among those impacted.

What went incorrectly?

The Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology's CERT-In alert stated, "A vulnerability has been reported in Google Chrome for Desktop which could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system."

Google Chrome versions 125.0.6422.112/.113 for Mac and Windows, as well as versions prior to 125.0.6422.112 for Linux, are impacted. Malware has the potential to be a serious online menace, according to a paper that was published on Friday.

According to what is known, Google Chrome for Desktop appears to be susceptible to the "Remote Code Execution" vulnerability because of the "Type Confusion" bug in version 8. This may ultimately allow a hacker to send a request that has been carefully constructed in order to take advantage of this weakness.

In the January–March quarter of this year, almost one in four Indians fell victim to a hacking assault. Furthermore, from January to March, about 20.1% of users were vulnerable to local attacks. It appears that cybercriminals have carried out illicit operations via browser extensions.

The secure path that lies ahead

A worldwide security business called Kaspersky reported in its quarterly statistics that roughly 22.9% of the nation's internet users were the subject of online attacks. CERT-In advised you to install the necessary security upgrades as directed by the organizations.

Moreover, malware continues to pose a serious risk to Indian users. According to CERT-In, targeted malware assaults are still a big concern for both people and organizations.

According to studies, file-less malware is thought to be the most significant online threat this quarter since it leaves no evidence behind for static analysis of the assault.
