"ValueError: realpath(): Argument #1 ($path) must not contain any null bytes in realpath()" (webform) when sending attachment

I am trying to send attachment when I submit a webform using Mime Mail mailer as a formatter and PHPMailer SMTP as sender in Mail System. When I include PDF attachment on the email, I get this error message:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. ValueError: realpath(): Argument #1 ($path) must not contain any null bytes in realpath() (line 139 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/File/FileSystem.php).**

Here is what’s in line 139

public function realpath($uri) {     // If this URI is a stream, pass it off to the appropriate stream wrapper.     // Otherwise, attempt PHP's realpath. This allows use of this method even     // for unmanaged files outside of the stream wrapper interface.     if ($wrapper = $this->streamWrapperManager->getViaUri($uri)) {       return $wrapper->realpath(); //line 139     }      return realpath($uri);   } 

I have never changed anything since I installed the module. What is going wrong in here?
