Environment

Correct:
Node version: v24.2.0
npm version: v8.5.5
Local ESLint version: 9.28.0
Global ESLint version: Not found
Operating System: win32 10.0.19045

Wrong:
Node version: v16.15.0
npm version: v8.5.5
Local ESLint version: Not found
Global ESLint version: Not found
Operating System: win32 10.0.19045

What parser are you using?

@typescript-eslint/parser

What did you do?

See the reproduction repository, have some version of Node installed that is not 24.2.0, but instead of the readme command which reproduces a different issue, just run ./node_modules/node/bin/node.exe ./node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js --env-info.

What did you expect to happen?

The Node version should be the Node version that is actually being run. The eslint version should obviously be the current eslint version.

What actually happened?

eslint reports the installed Node, not the running Node. Additionally, eslint fails to report its own version.
