'The system path generated cucumber/karate html report is not accessible in Azure DevOps pipeline

We created a karate framework with API testing using Maven, and we successfully ran it locally, generating both reports: a karate html report and a cucumber html report. We have added the cucumber html report dependency to our POM.xml. Because karate-related tasks are not available in Azure, but cucumber-related tasks are supported in Azure, like html report generation (i.e., publishing a cucumber report).

I have been trying from a couple of days to resolve the following error but I am unable to resolve it:

We have added the below tasks to 'azure-pipelines.yml' under "build pipeline"-

# Starter pipeline

# Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code.

# Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more:

# https://aka.ms/yaml

trigger:

As we have added the above tasks to the build pipeline, it has run successfully —

Once ‘create release’ using the default agent pool on the release pipeline side. Observed the following error-

The system path generated cucumber/karate html report is not accessible in the default agent pool under the release pipeline.

Failed to parse result files: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\agent_work\r3\a_QA Automation\drop\karate\target\cucumber-html-reports' is denied.

2. The maven goal test failed. Tried multiple versions (like 2.19.1, 3.0.0-M1, 3.0.0-M3, 3.0.0-M5) POM.xml for maven-surefire-plugin. Similar error is observed.

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M3:test (default-test) on project karate.

Note: We tried multiple versions (like 2.19.1, 3.0.0-M1, 3.0.0-M3, 3.0.0-M5) POM.xml for maven-surefire-plugin. Similar error is observed.
