Executive Summary
Google has officially released a critical security update for Chrome browser versions across Windows, macOS, and Linux, addressing two high-impact vulnerabilities that could enable Remote Code Execution (RCE) and compromise billions of users worldwide.
The most dangerous, CVE-2025-10200, involves a use-after-free flaw in the ServiceWorker component. If exploited, this bug could let attackers run arbitrary code on the target system — a nightmare scenario for enterprises, financial institutions, and everyday users.
The second flaw, CVE-2025-10201, relates to Chrome’s Mojo IPC system and could facilitate privilege escalation or data theft if chained with other exploits.
Google’s disclosure emphasized that the vulnerabilities were reported responsibly by top researchers and patched under Chrome version 140.0.7339.x, now rolling out globally.
Vulnerabilities in Detail
1. CVE-2025-10200 — Use-After-Free in ServiceWorker
- Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
- Discovered By: Looben Yang (independent researcher, awarded $43,000 bounty)
- Technical Impact: Crafted web pages could exploit dangling pointers in the ServiceWorker engine, allowing arbitrary memory access and RCE (Remote Code Execution).
- Threat Landscape: Exploitable via drive-by attacks, meaning simply visiting a malicious website could compromise an unpatched browser.
2. CVE-2025-10201 — Improper Implementation in Mojo IPC
- Severity: High (CVSS 8.5)
- Discovered By: Sahan Fernando & anonymous contributor (bounty $30,000)
- Technical Impact: Incorrect handling of inter-process communication (IPC) could enable attackers to escape Chrome’s sandbox, paving the way for privilege escalation or sensitive data access.
Affected Versions
- Windows: 140.0.7339.127 / .128
- macOS: 140.0.7339.132 / .133
- Linux: 140.0.7339.127

Why This Matters
- Chrome powers 3.4 billion active browsers worldwide.
- ServiceWorkers are deeply integrated with modern web apps, PWAs, and offline caching.
- RCE in this layer could allow silent malware installs, crypto-mining scripts, ransomware droppers, or credential theft across Gmail, banking apps, and enterprise SaaS.
- Given Chrome’s prevalence, these vulnerabilities qualify as global internet infrastructure threats.
CyberDudeBivash Recommended Actions
For Enterprises
- Force update Chrome browsers via GPO (Windows Group Policy) or MDM solutions.
- Enable Application Control Policies (AppLocker, JAMF) to restrict unverified binaries.
- Run endpoint detection rules for ServiceWorker anomalies.
For Developers
- Audit ServiceWorker scripts — especially those handling offline caching, push notifications, and sensitive data.
- Consider implementing Content Security Policies (CSP) and Trusted Types to prevent script injection.
For End Users
- Immediately update Chrome to the latest stable release.
- Avoid installing unverified Chrome extensions — these could weaponize vulnerabilities.
- Enable Enhanced Safe Browsing under Chrome Security settings.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
- T1203 — Exploitation for Client Execution
- T1189 — Drive-By Compromise
- T1068 — Exploitation for Privilege Escalation
- T1556 — Credential API Hooking (if chained with extensions)
- Remote Code Execution (avg. CPC: $22–30)
- Zero-Day Chrome Exploit (avg. CPC: $28–34)
- Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence (avg. CPC: $25+)
- Browser Security Patching (avg. CPC: $21–27)
- Enterprise Endpoint Security (avg. CPC: $30–40)
- Managed Detection and Response (MDR) (avg. CPC: $42–55)
CyberDudeBivash Verdict
This Chrome RCE patch is mission-critical. Given the ubiquity of ServiceWorkers and the growing sophistication of browser exploitation kits, organizations must treat this as a Tier-1 incident.
Unpatched systems are essentially open doors for:
- Credential hijacking
- Session cookie theft
- Ransomware delivery
- Cross-platform exploitation (Windows, macOS, Linux)
CyberDudeBivash strongly advises enterprises to validate Chrome patch levels today and incorporate this case into red-blue team simulation exercises.
