Node exception: syntax error in argparse.js: "syntax error: unexpected token {"

While trying to set up Cloudsploit scanner in Azure VM, am presented with this error on run:

azureuser@cloudsploit-master:~/scans$ ./index.js -h
/home/azureuser/scans/node_modules/argparse/argparse.js:222
    } catch {}
            ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {
    at createScript (vm.js:80:10)
    at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:139:10)

    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/azureuser/scans/index.js:3:28)

The block of code in question:

function _alias(object, from, to) {
    try {
        let name = object.constructor.name
        Object.defineProperty(object, from, {
            value: util.deprecate(object[to], sub('%s.%s() is renamed to %s.%s()',
                name, from, name, to)),
            enumerable: false
        })
    } catch {}
}

I am not a developer, but it seems to me that the "catch" is missing the variable to catch. On this assumption, I changed the catch to

   } catch (exp) {}
}

And was then able to view the usage information as expected.
