Also running into this. I initially thought the issue was with Inquirer, but it appears they do not have lodash listed as a dependency, so perhaps Vorpal needs to upgrage lodash. Here is a screenshot of the audit output from npm.

anyone know a maintained fork of vorpal or something similar?

This is really disappointing. There are currently 17 open pull requests so clearly people are trying to help maintain this. But the project owner appears to have somewhat abandoned it. He even suggests someone "shoot him a note" to help maintain it, but there have been no updates in years. If anyone knows of a maintained fork that is actually published to npm with a unique name, please post.
