Hi, everyone!

I have found a web application where it is possible to capture all the traffic in plain-text, and I'm wondering what this vulnerability is called.. I'm asking because I need to find resourses and names of a potential fix for this.

Everything that is written or selected is possible to capture in plain-text (credit-cards, passwords, usernames, etc.) Cannot seem to find anything online, so if someone knows anything about this or similar things, please share the knowledge :)

The tool used: Wireshark.

Resources are appreciated!

By "The tool used: Wireshark." do you mean that this Web application runs Wireshark to capture the traffic?
