Webpack build results Terser Error: Unexpected token: punc ())

Question

I've been cleaning up my npm audit errors and after I was done I could not execute npm tun build anymore.

Error

ERROR in web/themes/custom/js/funds-chunk.js from Terser

I've looked into these:
https://github.com/webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin/issues/114,

https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin/issues/1262 but I do not use uglify or html-minifier.

https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/14662 updated webpack from 5.30.0 to version 5.75 did not help
