Describe the bug

have recently gotten this error:

....
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/node_modules/@aws-sdk/client-cloudformation/dist-cjs/index.js:343
  static {
         ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'

When using serverless to deploy to AWS using github actions
9 hours ago from this post github action successfully deployed, i noticed first failure 4 hours ago and all since then.
noticed that the latest update for client-cloudformation on npm was 7 hours ago so it is most likely this latest update.

currently using the following on github actions:

• Ubuntu v 24.04.1
• Node v 18.20.5
• serverless@3.40.0
• npm: 10.8.2

Have not tested upgrading to Node v20, but that is probably not the solution since I ran locally successfully, and i have node v18.20.2, serverless 3.38.0, npm 10.9.1

Can provide more info if needed
Thanks

Happening here, as well. Seeing it in an AWS Codebuild "aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-x86_64-standard:4.0" environment, using serverless version 3.35.2

The syntax is a static initialization block that was introduced in Node.js 16.11.0, according to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Static_initialization_blocks

This SDK recently updated to require Node.js 18 and higher announced in #6252. The EOL date of Node.js 16 was in September 2023.

Is the execution environment using a lower Node.js version?
