CVE-2018-11632
If an admin user can be tricked into visiting a crafted URL created by an attacker (via spear phishing/social engineering), the attacker can change the plugin settings via wp-admin/admin-post.php CSRF.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
