Our Joomla site has Kunena forum (Kunena versio is 5.2.3).

Kunena works otherwise ok, but when a user posts a new Kunena message, Joomla sends "Unhandled exception - ValueError" message:

Exception Type: ValueError
File: /var/www/vhosts/sitenamehere/httpdocs/plugins/system/admintools/feature/uploadshield.php
Line: 162
Message: Path cannot be empty

This started to happen when we changed PHP version to 8.0.9. There is no problem when using PHP 7.4.22

Is this problem caused by Admin tools or Kunena (both should be ok with PHP 8)?

Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Request Filtering, set UploadShield to No. This feature is already included in Joomla as of Joomla 3.4 and does not need to be enabled in Admin Tools. It will be removed from the next versions.
