Just ran into this exact thing today and fixed it by installing the latest version of node(16.15.0) -> https://nodejs.org/en/

You're most likely trying to use create-react-app on an image, and the image's configurations are crossing wires with create-react-app; that's what I just did by mistake using Docker, and I got the same exact compiling error with node:vm as a missing module

If you're using create-react-app, don't use it while you're in any Docker/Dev Environment images, just run the npx command in your terminal as is (probably helps having node downloaded on your local machine as well)

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

Hopefully that helps, I know that solved my problem
