FYI to find the table, ctrl-f 'top 10 most frequently ' (or, if you use Chrome/your browser supports text fragments, https://me2ba.org/school-mobile-apps-student-data-sharing-be... )

I also don't see how OkHttp[0] or Okio[1] are 'medium' risk. Are they secretly sending data to Square? The code is auditable on GitHub.

Likely just user-agent scanning, those libs would be used by other service.
