Update Your Chrome Stat

There is a new zero day Chrome vulnerability that has been reported to have been exploited in the wild. This one seems to be pretty severe and speculation is that it can lead to remote code execution.

The CVE, CVE-2019-5786, hasn’t hit the NIST vulnerability database yet, so there isn’t a ton of information on it other than, “Use-after-free in FileReader. Reported by Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group on 2019-02-27.”

The version you want to be on is 72.0.3626.121. You can check it by going to chrome://settings/help. Chrome usually auto updates, but you may need to restart your browser for it to take effect. You can find more about updating Chrome here.
