controller-admin.php has base 64 encrypted text

Hi @wv0l!

Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

I’ll be happy to explain 🙂 Your Namecheap scanner ran into a “false positive” here, I’m afraid, apparently by simply searching for the string “base64”. Base64 is nothing bad, and it’s not “encryption”! It’s simply a different “encoding” of data, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

In the line the scanner found it, it’s simply used to encode an SVG image file as text, so that the image can be used as a so-called “Data URI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme

So, I can assure you that this is all totally correct and has no security implications whatsoever, and it is not in any way related to a “hack” or other security problem!

Best wishes,
Tobias
