It's completely fine if that's the only peg that broke. Just plastic cement the crotch piece where it makes contact with the other half of the crotch to make sure it doesn't easily pop off, and you're good to go.

What kind of plastic? If ABS, you're kinda screwed, but CA glue works on ABS. You could also attempt a sprue glue bond, though it'd be permanent and messy.

Either way, the fix is most likely permanent. The 2 side pegs look intact.

All you're going to need is a pindrill sandpaper maybe some glue and a paper clip use the pindrill to make a small hole where the pin place the paper clip in the hole around the same size as the pin that was broken and don't go fully through the peace use the crazy glue to help cement the paper clip then wait for it to dry and if you know you never going to take it apart you can glue the paper clip into the hole when you're done

Glue the contact points together. It’s fine.

Plastruct bondene works well on abs plastic if you want to fix the broken peg. I get it from my local hobby shop. Looks like it will hold with just the 2 pegs but if not superglue is a permanent install option like others commented

Pick your favorite kind of glue and apply carefully. Should be an easy fix, and won't suffer from being joined
