What this checks and how to fix it

Defines if user consent to apps is allowed, and if it is, which app consent policy (permissionGrantPolicy) governs the permissions.

Microsoft recommends to allow to user consent for apps from verified publisher for selected permissions. CISA SCuBA 2.7 defines that all Non-Admin Users SHALL Be Prevented From Providing Consent To Third-Party Applications.
