api.Crypto.getRandomValues - Wrong version listed for NodeJS

[DesignByOnyx]

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: Chrome says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

MDN says Node.js added support in v15.0.0, but the Node.js website says v17.4.0

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

v17.4.0

Did you test this? If so, how?

I tested on Node 16 and confirmed it is not there. Here are a couple docker commands you can use to test:

# does not work
docker run  --rm -it node:16-alpine node -e "require('crypto').getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(1))"
docker run  --rm -it node:17.3-alpine node -e "require('crypto').getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(1))"

# does work
docker run  --rm -it node:17.4-alpine node -e "require('crypto').getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(1))"

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

No response

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Looks like the version number was added in #7283. It appears that there's an error in the docs on the paths referenced in that PR. I trust your tests and the document you linked much more.

I think the test and the link to the docs is not correct.

This use the link of the getRandomValues() method of crypto module (which says v17.4.0), NOT the getRandomValues() method of Web Crypto API (which says v15.0.0). Also notice that, the getRandomValues() method of crypto module is simply a convenient alias of the getRandomValues() method of Web Crypto API.

The correct test should be require('crypto').webcrypto.getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(1)), and the correct link should be https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/webcrypto.html#class-crypto
