I created the default IntelliJ IDEA React project and got this:

It seems to be a recent issue - webpack ran into this 4 days ago and is still working on it.
Here is two option now -
1. Try to uninstall Node.js version 17+ and reinstall the Node.js version 16+
2. Open terminal and paste these as described :
Linux & Mac OS (windows git bash)-
export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
Windows command prompt-
set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
Reference link.
In your package.json: change this line
"start": "react-scripts start"
to
"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"
If we use the current LTS version of Node.js then this error will not come. Downgrade your Node.js version to the current LTS version (16.13.0).
There can be multiple ways to install the required version. One of them is using nvm (Node.js version manager).
Step 1: Install nvm (if not installed, follow Install Node.js Locally with Node Version Manager (nvm))
Step 2: nvm install 16.13.0 (or lts)
