"Cannot find module './util/assertString'" since 13.12.0

[lijiayi0921]

Describe the bug My typescript program is unable to launch using yarn.

Error: Cannot find module './util/assertString' Require stack:

• C:\dev\xxxxx\server\node_modules\validator\lib\toDate.js
• C:\dev\xxxxx\server\node_modules\validator\index.js
• C:\dev\xxxxx\server\node_modules\express-validator\src\chain\sanitizers-impl.js
• C:\dev\xxxxx\server\node_modules\express-validator\src\chain\index.js
• C:\dev\xxxxx\server\node_modules\express-validator\src\middlewares\exact.js

Forcing validator to 13.11.0 (with yarn resolutions) removes the error

Additional context Validator.js version: 13.12.0 Node.js version: v18.16.1 OS platform: windows
