Hello.
No I don`t still trying.
I know uncrypted data is shown in admin menu.
You can track issue in stackoverflow.com

Moving it to development section

Some code
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/41...re/LSSodium.php#L135

Maybe need base64_decode ?

Error in nonce or key format. You can see at line 139 they are not decoded.
But i think they encoded in Limesurvey config file and one should decrypt nonce and key before use.

Main mystery is how to decrypt nonce and key from config file to solve Argument #2 ($nonce) must be SODIUM_CRYPTO_SECRETBOX_NONCEBYTES bytes long in problem in sodium_crypto_secretbox_open() function.
 

github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/41...ore/LSSodium.php#L64
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/41...ore/LSSodium.php#L71

?

Tryed sodium_hex2bin() function on them like this. Without any error, but no decryption, clean error.log in apache, status 200 in access log, but just blank variable without data  
applyed base64_decode() on

works fine. Feel free to use this solution on external .php data output with nonce and key from secure.php in config directory.

Great ! You got it !!
