Unable to reproduce. Please indicate both host system and filesystem specs.
Debian 12 + DirectAdmin Panel

In fact, the file should have been uploaded successfully, but for some reason, the admin panel is showing errors and garbled characters, and the file is not being used or updated. I've tried many times, resulting in many uploaded files.(below image red box shows)

This problem was not present in the previous two versions; it was discovered after upgrading to version 4.4.2.

I tested the user image upload function and it worked fine; the problem only occurred when I, as an administrator, tried to modify the watermark.

Show me the Site Storage setup.
Here is my site storage setup:

Storage Type: Local
Storage Path: /home/admin/domains/*.com/public_html/content/images
Environment: DirectAdmin(Apache 2.4.66/PHP 8.2)
Physical Permissions: All image directories are set to 755 and files to 644.

BUT...Were you actually trying to get me to look at the chevereto admin dashboard backend storage settings? I went in and checked, and found that it was also displaying garbled characters.

Strange, I haven't changed this setting recently.

Try setting the path again.

At some recent update (I don't recall exactly when) certain settings became encrypted aware, and while in most setups the thing carried the plain text to cipher migration, in some setups I'm seeing that it didn't happen.

Check the following keys for a similar conflict:
PHP:
    public const ENCRYPTED_NAMES = [
        'api_v1_key',
        'email_smtp_server',
        'email_smtp_server_password',
        'email_smtp_server_port',
        'email_smtp_server_username',
        'captcha_secret',
        'disqus_secret_key',
        'akismet_api_key',
        'moderatecontent_key',
        'asset_storage_server',
        'asset_storage_service',
        'asset_storage_account_id',
        'asset_storage_account_name',
        'asset_storage_key',
        'asset_storage_secret',
        'asset_storage_bucket',
        'arachnid_api_username',
        'arachnid_api_password',
    ];
