It's a huge alert, where a hacker could gain access to your system through the chrome browser by using some malicious codes.
The vulnerabilities in question were fixed by Google in Chrome 98 earlier this month. The nodal agency has categorised the severity of the issues as “high”.
The agency said that Google Chrome application before this version 98.0.4758.80 are affected by the vulnerabilities.
At the time of announcing the last release, Google said that access to bug details and links might be kept restricted until a majority of users do not update Chrome browser on their systems.
