Package dependency security maintenance

[arrrgi]

Describe the bug
A number of package dependencies have moderate to high security vulnerabilities. These may be exploitable in the right circumstances.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the repo
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm audit to list packages with vulnerabilities that have been patched

Expected behavior
npm audit --audit-level=low should not report any vulnerabilities, or at best case, only report low severity instances. Consider adding dependabot to automate scans and raise relevant issues in the repo for package dependency security issues detected.
