Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
The report you mention is false positive and is not related to any kind of security issue in the plugin. The security software from your web host simply looks for words in the code that may indicate security issues.
This results in many false positives because there are plenty of safe and legitimate uses of said words in the code.
We’ve checked the file in question, and I presume it’s the word base64 that triggers the error. This function is sometimes used to obfuscate malicious code, but of course, it has many legitimate uses, for example with its help we can embed image data inside the HTML code, which is what happens in Rank Math.
You can learn more about the security of our plugin here: https://rankmath.com/kb/is-rank-math-safe-to-use/
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
