[BUG] Update deprecated Node.js versions and outdated npm packages

The repo currently uses Node.js 16 in multiple workflows and actions, as well as several outdated npm packages. Node.js 16 reached **EOL on September 11, 2023** , which means there wont be any new security updates or patches , also there would be Potential compatibility issues with newer dependencies

Additionally, the fallback logic in `get-node-version-from-package-lock` action still references Node.js 14 (EOL in April 2023) and Node.js 18 (EOL in April 2025).

After updating these will verify if workflows still function correctly after updates

Yes I am willing to submit a PR!

Inspect the repository's workflows and the `get-node-version-from-package-lock` action for the Node.js version references, then review the outdated npm packages mentioned in the issue. Run the affected workflows after the updates; done means the deprecated versions are removed and the workflows still function correctly.
