Updating node.js causes 'write EPIPE' with ng e2e

I have an angular 7 application which runs its e2e tests during a CI pipeline on a server. My server's package manager updated the node.js version from 10.14 to 10.14.2 (Both LTS versions) This causes ng e2e to throw the following error:

i ｢wdm｣: Compiled successfully.

I was able to reproduce this locally, when i rollback to 10.14 ng e2e works again.

Any idea what exactly causes this and how it can be fixed?
