Here is what I see. I believe you are saying that the ability to put a URL in the URL bar here - after the data: scheme - could mislead a user into thinking that they are on a given domain. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It seems this is a potential spoofing issue. data:text/html;charset=utf-8&<anything you like to try to spoof the url>;base64,<base64 data containing spoofed page>
" Here is what I see. I believe you are saying that the ability to put a URL in the URL bar here - after the data: scheme - could mislead a user into thinking that they are on a given domain. Please correct me if I'm wrong." Yes this is what i'm talking about spoofing. it will miss leadning the client to think that they are on real website. even worst people can make bank page to look more real like they were there.
" It seems this is a potential spoofing issue. data:text/html;charset=utf-8&<anything you like to try to spoof the url>;base64,<base64 data containing spoofed page> " Yes sir that is correct, people can make any page and put anything that in they mind.
Hello i dont understand here this is my first time reporting bug. i hope my bug are qualify to get bug bounty.. please reply
I don't think this is a serious concern. There are many ways to put this string in the URL bar, and none of them will trick the browser into displaying it as a legitimate domain. Note that in your sample, the (quasi-spoofed) domain is not shown in bold text as it normally would be. It is not in the location that a user would expect it in, either. So based on that, I think that there is nothing incorrect here.
