Summary
The Eleganzo theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary directory deletion due to insufficient path validation in the akd_required_plugin_callback function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary directories on the server, including the WordPress root directory.
