Firebase-admin dependency farmhash-modern throws webassembly error

I'm trying to configure firebase-admin SDK on my nextjs + TS project. Whenever i try to invoke any SDK function, i get a webAssembly error. In my case, i am trying to configure a middleware for the server side api, and when i call the verifyIdToken method it throws the error. Has anyone faced similar errors ? How can i fix this ?

Below is my middleware.ts file:

import { auth } from "./lib/config/firebaseConfig";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { NextRequest } from "next/server";

interface ExtendedNextRequest extends NextRequest {
  uid?: string;
}

export async function middleware(req: ExtendedNextRequest, res: NextResponse) {
  try {
    let token = req.headers.get("Authorization");
    if (!token)
      return NextResponse.json({ message: "Access Denied" }, { status: 403 });
    if (token.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
      token = token.split(" ")[1];
    }

    let decodedToken = await auth.verifyIdToken(token);
    let uid = decodedToken.uid;
    req.uid = uid;

    return NextResponse.next();
  } catch (error: any) {
    console.log(error.errorInfo);
    return NextResponse.json({ message: "Invalid Token" }, { status: 401 });
  }
}

Below is the error i recieve:

⨯ ./node_modules/farmhash-modern/bin/bundler/farmhash_modern_bg.wasm
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '' (1:0)
The module seem to be a WebAssembly module, but module is not flagged as WebAssembly module for webpack.
BREAKING CHANGE: Since webpack 5 WebAssembly is not enabled by default and flagged as experimental feature.
You need to enable one of the WebAssembly experiments via 'experiments.asyncWebAssembly: true' (based on async modules) or 'experiments.syncWebAssembly: true' (like webpack 4, deprecated).
For files that transpile to WebAssembly, make sure to set the module type in the 'module.rules' section of the config (e. g. 'type: "webassembly/async"').
