Second sentence should read:

"If you don't want your (web-)app (and its users) to be vulnerable to MiTM attacks, they need to be issued by CA's that are trusted by the (web-)app users.  The easiest way to do so is to use one of the many commercial CA's trusted by default by browsers.  These certificates are frequently quite inexpensive."
