Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Publish approval plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the publish_save_option function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
