User can be tricked by Phishing attack

Reported by de.a...@gmail.com, Feb 25 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Type the below url on Chrome browser
http://yahoo.com&gibberish=1234@cnn.com
2. Chrome will parse it appropriately and open cnn.com url without any warning.
3. An attacker can trick victims by sites similar below:
http://yahoo.com&gibberish=1234@eveil.com/some/malicious/urlname/
User will think the domain is yahoo.com

What is the expected behavior?
The user should get a warning that it can be a phishing trick ( Firefox is warning)

What went wrong?
An Phisher may trick a normal user by making him think that the URL domain is yahoo.com when actually he is opening evil.com

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.12
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

 
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
This would be a bug in the domain if it allows redirect behaviour. Not an issue in chrome and not a security issue.
