[URGENT] Password reset emails are sent in clear-text (without encryption)
How it was found
Hey, I've found that when we use the 'forgot password' page to recover our password, bridge.cspr.ng sends an email to us, and when I tried to get more information about the email from [email protected], I saw that the email is sent in clear-text instead of TLS which is so vulnerable since any Man-in-the-middle attacker is able to read these sensitive Emails and get the password reset link -> which can lead to account takeover.
You can see in this image that 'no encryption' is used:

This can further lead to Account Takeover that's why I've added [URGENT] in the title.
If you have any other questions or if anything needs clarification, please let me know.
Thanks, Ahsan Tahir
