http proxy is not working on Openshift

Creating GitHub release is failing when semantic-release is executed on an Openshift behind a corporate proxy.
When working on an Openshift clusters without a proxy the same configuration works fine. Also, the corporate proxy works fine in all other cases.

I tried configuring the proxy using HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables and via the following .releaserc config:

{
  "branches": [
    "+([0-9])?(.{+([0-9]),x}).x",
    {
      "name": "main",
      "prerelease": false
    }
  ],
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
      {
        "preset": "angular"
      }
    ],
    "@semantic-release/changelog",
    [
      "@semantic-release/github",
      {
        "proxy": {
          "host": "XXXXX [redacted]",
          "port": 3128,
          "secureProxy": false
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

However, in all cases I'm getting the following error:

    }
  ]
}

Is there an error in my configuration? Otherwise, I would greatly appreciate any help with further troubleshooting.

Start at the @semantic-release/github verifyConditions entry point and trace its @octokit/request call to the GitHub API, using the shown proxy configuration and environment variables. Reproduce the failure on OpenShift and compare the proxy agent behavior; done means authentication succeeds and release verification works behind the corporate proxy.
