Bug Description

I am getting UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error while making HTTPS (REST API) call using typescript with node js version 18.15.0. There was no error with 16.17.1 . Basically I was using vscode version 1.81.1 which has nodejs version 16.17.1
I upgraded vscode to 1.82.2 and it has nodejs version 18.15.0. After upgrade, on making HTTPS request (REST API call) I started to get error UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY What is changed in nodejs 18.15.0 for SSL certification validation? which is causing this issue

How did you install Node.js? Can you share a script to reproduce your problem?

I have downloaded nodeJs from https://nodejs.org/en/download. I installed this around few months back. I started to get issue after I upgraded vscode to 1.82.2 . I have not made any code changes. If I downgrade vscode to 1.81.1 then I don't see any issue with fetch API. Just two days back, I upgraded to vscode 1.82.2

Unfortunately I can't help you, I recommend to contact Microsoft support, looks like a VSCode issue.
