Resolution

A thread dump can be obtained using the following guides:

Upgrading hp-application-automation-tools-plugin to >= 5.6.2 should resolve the issue.

Uninstalling hp-application-automation-tools-plugin should also resolve the issue. See https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/plugins/#uninstalling-a-plugin
