I have now tested this with following versions:

WordPress: 3.2.1
Enable Latex: 1.1.2

I was unable to reproduce this issue. All I received back from application: "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this file directly.", which comes from core.class.php:

   7 /* Prevent direct access to this file */
   8 if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {
   9     exit("Sorry, you are not allowed to access this file directly.");
  10 }

This was added between revisions:

r458335 | sedLex | 2011-11-01 19:00:07 +0200 (Tue, 01 Nov 2011) | 1 line

New version
"""

With version r458335 I am unable to reproduce this issue as these PHP-files just give require_once PHP warnings. Could you please help me with this issue to identify if this is valid announcement and with what versions, thank you.
