After Microsoft’s recent patch for two critical zero-day vulnerabilities in SharePoint (CVE-2025-53770, CVE-2025-53771), Google has followed with its own urgent response. Tech giant has issued a Chrome security update to address multiple flaws, including a severe use-after-free vulnerability in the Media Stream component (CVE-2025-8292). This high-risk bug is easy to exploit, requires no authentication, and could allow remote attackers to crash the browser or execute malicious code, putting user systems at serious risk.

With over 28,000 new CVEs already logged by NIST this year, cybersecurity teams face mounting pressure to stay ahead. Vulnerability exploitation remains the leading attack vector, and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated, proactive detection is essential to reducing the attack surface and mitigating risk.

With Uncoder, defenders can automatically convert IOCs into actionable hunting queries, craft detection rules from raw threat reports, generate Attack Flow diagrams, enable ATT&CK tags prediction, leverage AI-driven query optimization, and translate detection content across multiple platforms.

CVE-2025-8292 Analysis

Google recently released an urgent security update for the Chrome browser to fix multiple vulnerabilities, including a high-severity flaw that could allow attackers to exploit memory and run arbitrary code on affected systems. The most significant vulnerability fixed in this update is tracked as CVE-2025-8292, a “use-after-free” vulnerability discovered in Chrome’s Media Stream component before version 138.0.7204.183.

CVE-2025-8292 poses high risks to the affected devices, giving a remote attacker the green light to exploit it using a specially crafted HTML page. If exploited, adversaries could cause the browser to crash or run malicious code, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the compromised system. This access could then be used to install software, steal or modify data, or create new user accounts with full administrative rights.

As potential CVE-2025-8292 mitigation measures, the vendor recommends updating the browser to the latest software version (Chrome 138.0.7204.183 for Linux and 138.0.7204.183/.184 for Windows and Mac), which addresses this flaw along with other vulnerabilities. Notably, the vendor stated that the details and links about the reported bugs might remain restricted to enable most Chrome users to apply the patch to minimize the risks of exploitation attempts. Restrictions will also continue if the vulnerability is present in a third-party library that other projects rely on and have not yet been patched.

As vulnerabilities in widely used software continue to rise, organizations are advised to adopt proactive security practices, such as consistent patch management and ongoing monitoring for unusual activity, to safeguard against emerging threats. SOC Prime equips security teams with a complete product suite backed by AI, automation, and real-time threat intelligence and built on zero-trust security principles to enable organizations to outscale emerging threats and enhance cyber resilience.
