Google released Chrome 142, fixing 20 flaws, including two high-severity V8 bugs, and awarded $100,000 in bug bounties.

Google addressed 20 flaws in Chrome version 142, including high-severity bugs that impact the V8 engine. The IT giant awarded $100,000 in bounties for two issues in the V8 JavaScript engine.

The two vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2025-12428 and CVE-2025-12429.

The high-severity vulnerability CVE-2025-12428 is a type Confusion in V8. Man Yue Mo of GitHub Security Lab reported the flaw on 2025-09-26. The vulnerability was awarded $50000.

The high-severity vulnerability CVE-2025-12429 is a type Confusion in V8. Aorui Zhang reported the flaw. The vulnerability was awarded $50000.

Google also awarded $10,000 for a Media object lifecycle vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-12430, which was reported by round.about.

Three high-severity V8 flaws found by Google’s Big Sleep AI agent received no bug bounty rewards.

Google also resolved multiple medium-severity flaws in Omnibox, Storage, Extensions, Ozone, PageInfo, App-Bound Encryption, and V8, and low-severity flaws in Autofill, WebXR, Fullscreen UI, Extensions, and SplitView.

It is unclear whether any of these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited in the wild.

Chrome 142.0.7444.59/60 is rolling out for Linux, Windows, and macOS, with slight version differences across platforms.
