In this case a full file systems caused this file below to be empty, even after splunkd restart, it was still empty.. That was the cause of this error:

[splunk@hf001 ~]$ ll /opt/splunk/quarantined_files/
total 8
-rwxr-x--- 1 splunk splunk   0 Jun  7 14:18 quarantine_manifest.json
-rwxr-x--- 1 splunk splunk 208 Mar 16  2023 README.md

Adding Enterprise default config to the file solved the issue:

[splunk@hf001 ~]$ cat /opt/splunk/quarantined_files/quarantine_manifest.json
{"enable_jQuery2": "not-restricted", "enable_unsupported_hotlinked_imports": "not-restricted"}
