Hi all

I'm looking to confirm something with regards the active response feature, I 
believe this works in something like the following manner

Data sent from logs on Agent > triggers rules / alert on master > fires 
relevant active response script on agent

The active response script / binary needs to be placed in active-response/bin 
on the agent and the master server is itself not capable of running arbitrary 
commands on the agent system or injecting scripts / binaries onto this for 
execution.

I'm trying to get a handle on the impact of a theoretical compromise / 
malicious action on the master server and the extent of abuse this would make 
possible on the agent systems, outside of modifying configuration directives 
such as <location> within the server's configuration file.

In essence I suppose this is a question over what level and type of actions the 
server is capable of making an agent perform.

Many thanks in advance
