Getting the following error message on the Welcome page when logging in as Admin. This has came up on a couple sites before. All sites are currently running version 9.2.4 and PHP 8.2.14.

I looked around and didn’t see anything similar posted, so if I missed it I apologize. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My guess here is that whatever network call is being made to the Concrete servers (to fetch latest news, updates, etc), is being intercepted, and instead a PNG file is being returned.

What you’re seeing is the data of a PNG file, but read as text and displayed.

Are details coming up on the rest of the Welcome page, or does it look like it can’t communicate with Concrete’s servers?
