Upgrade the PublishPress Revisions plugin to version 4.3.1 or later, where this authorization issue has been fixed. No other mitigation is necessary once the plugin is updated.
Description
A vulnerability in the PublishPress Revisions WordPress plugin before version 4.3.1 allows users with Contributor-level permissions to publish content directly without editorial approval. This bypasses the intended workflow that restricts publishing rights to higher-privileged roles.
