Google Chrome’s latest zero-day—CVE-2025-2783—is a sandbox escape vulnerability that’s already being exploited in the wild. For MSPs and IT leaders, this is more than just a browser bug. It means threat actors can execute code beyond Chrome’s normal security boundaries, potentially gaining control of the entire system. With employees living inside their browsers—handling email, SaaS apps, and cloud dashboards—this exploit can be the gateway to total business compromise.
What You Can Do
Immediately push the latest Chrome updates across all managed devices via group policy or your endpoint management platform. Disable automatic execution of downloaded files and enforce content filtering where feasible. Regularly scan systems for indicators of compromise, and consider browser isolation tools or virtualized browsing environments for high-risk users. Most critically—educate users not to click on suspicious links, especially in spear-phishing campaigns.
