Use crypto server side in nuxt3 (3.8) with node 18

Hi, how can I use crypto server side in nuxt3 (3.8) with node 18 ?
There is a recommendation for a server side plugin, but this isn't working:

# plugins/crypto.server.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
    if (process.server) {
        const crypto = require('crypto');
        global.crypto = crypto;
    }
})

# plugins/crypto.server.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
    if (process.server) {
        const crypto = require('crypto');
        global.crypto = crypto;
    }
})

Using this I get a 500 error

Cannot assign to read only property 'crypto' of object '#<Object>'

Cannot assign to read only property 'crypto' of object '#<Object>'

The recommendation came from https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/discussions/19290
