Edit the file in /home/$USER/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.1/lib/node_modules/generator-jhipster/node_modules/yeoman-environment/package.json and add this code into the "exports":

"./lib/util/namespace": "./lib/util/namespace.js",

JHipster 7.x only works with Node 16. If you use Node 16, it should work.

Please re-open if Node 16 doesn't work for you.
