Issue Password Protected Directory Breaks Drupal Theme

[thesillyspider]

Server operating system version

CentOS Linux 7.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51

The recent Plesk Obsidian upgrade to 18.0.51 broke my Durpal website theme when Password Protected Directories was enabled at the web root directory . It was working fine earlier though.

Initially, I though I had messed up my Drupal site. Restoring a backup also did not work.

Realised that it had something to do with Plesk because I installed a basic and fresh copy of Drupal and the moment I enabled Password Protected Directories, the same thing happened - broken Druapl theme (even with Drupal's default theme).

Tested on fresh installs of Drupal 9 & 10, all showing the same thing with Password Protected Directories enabled at the web root directory.
Once Password Protected Directories is disabled, Drupal 9 & 10 works fine.

Is there is solution to this problem?

Thanks. The interim solution works
