For information I managed to sort this by removing the shrinkwrap file then updating request and radium. This seemed to install the correct versions and now no security issues.
Thanks Ben, I guess we can consider this closed and Iβll have to work out where in our tree we end up with an out-of-date version of hoek.
Unfortunately at the moment weβre stuck on npm 3.8.6 which doesnβt help matters and archaic apps that need updating.
