We just saved a user profile in JCE and are now getting this error for it:
htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given

As a test, we opened another profile (one we don't use), changed nothing and clicked save. We then got the same error

This was first seen on JCE 2.9.56 on a J4.4.1 site running on PHP 8.1.26

I did see JCE 2.9.57 was out today and installed it and the error is still occurring.

Here is the call stack on the error:

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Your staging site is not loading any of the JCE Pro Admin assets (css, javascript etc.) giving a 403 error for each with the message:

"This page link is no longer valid. Please use our updated website."

This may be related to the profile errors, so you will need to resolve this before we can figure out the original issue.

I have installed JCE Pro 2.9.58 Beta on your site which fixes the error directly, but not the root cause of the issue, which may be related to the missing asset files.

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for the fix and we are looking into why those files are getting 403'd.
