Issue descriptionThis template is ONLY for reporting security bugs. If you are reporting a Download Protection Bypass bug, please use the "Security - Download Protection" template. For all other reports, please use a different template. Please READ THIS FAQ before filing a bug: https://www.chromium.org/Home /chromium-security/security-faq Please see the following link for instructions on filing security bugs: http://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/reporting-security-bugs NOTE: Security bugs are normally made public once a fix has been widely deployed. VULNERABILITY DETAILS Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue: The description of this bug is rather strange. This bug happens when a web page seems to be blocked off, or 404'd, page not found, as in no HTML file there. Though, it seems I have come across a bug where the page was a text file, as in 'users.txt' : http://imgur.com/a/2Oc8a. Though, this isn't the problem, obviously. The problem is, when you put this address into google, and not the web address bar, you get the contents of the text file. Now, this could be very bad for text files that hold important information, or, for a user list (like this was, which could expose WHO is on the website) or even some important keywords for the website, you never know. I have shown this, in the photos, i have also attached a HTML file that shows the same thing, though here is the real world example, where I found it. : https://opensourcecontributo.rs/archive/events/2016-10-31-21.users.txt - how to replicate this is to paste this into the search bar, not the address bar. After that, view the contents of it. VERSION Chrome Version: [x.x.x.x] + [stable, beta, or dev] Version 57.0.2987.98 (64-bit) Google-Chrome-Stable. Operating System: [Please indicate OS, version, and service pack level] Linux Gentoo, 4.9.6. REPRODUCTION CASE Please include a demonstration of the security bug, such as an attached HTML or binary file that reproduces the bug when loaded in Chrome. PLEASE make the file as small as possible and remove any content not required to demonstrate the bug. (See Files attached, and the vulnerability details.) FOR CRASHES, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Type of crash: [tab, browser, etc.] Crash State: [see link above: stack trace, registers, exception record] Client ID (if relevant): [see link above] N/A
