          The Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is installed to allow a central
        Nagios server to actively poll information from the hosts it monitors. NRPE
        has a configuration option dont_blame_nrpe which enables command-line arguments
        to be provided remote plugins. When this option is enabled, even when NRPE makes
        an effort to sanitize arguments to prevent command execution, it is possible to
        execute arbitrary commands.
