UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error while use node v4.2.3

I am using node version 4.2.3, it is a legacy application which has been using this version since a long time and has been passed on to me. 
When I try to use node version 4.2.3, it throws UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error while initiating registration. Though it works fine with v4.9.1 and also v8.11.1 as per my testing
