 * Hi [@dpiguyana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpiguyana/),
 * The thread title ‘Security Threat’ is misleading and I apologize for any confusion.
 * The plugin is using a 3rd party library code that is used by Gmail API Services
   library and is hugely popular and well-tested library used by millions of sites.
   If you are certain of any issues with the library, please [report](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/issues)
   in their repository instead.
 * Thanks!
