Error: CE Task finished abnormally with status: FAILED

I am facing a problem in one of our gitlab-ci build steps, where SonarQ is executed via maven plugin. It happens on a merge request / pull request when the target branch is not master, but another branch like the ‘release branch’. Inspecting the console output, it is stating that the blame information is missing on the changed fileset of the feature branch. Finally, the analysis was not running and the build step failed.

Below you can find error log snippets including SonarQ version and plugin version.
