The Error Log Viewer By WP Guru plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1.3 via the wp_ajax_nopriv_elvwp_log_download AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
