Node v18 throwing credential implementation issue but not with node v16

Describe your environment

* Operating System version: Docker using `FROM node:18.16`
* Firebase SDK version: 11.9
* Firebase Product: auth
* Node.js version: 18.16
* NPM version: 9.5.1

#### Steps to reproduce:

When I upgraded my docker node from 16.19 to 18.16, I get this error:
```
credential implementation provided to initializeapp() via the "credential" property failed to fetch a valid google oauth2 access token.
```

However, if I downgrade it back to 16.19, the notifications get pushed out.

From the package.json it says that it can support node 14 and higher but its failing on v18 for me.

#### Relevant Code:
I'm using very basic:
```
initializeApp({
credential: applicationDefault(),
})
```
