Vulnerability discussion

This policy setting allows users to be prevented from using or inserting apps that come from the Office Store. If this policy setting is enabled, apps from the Office Store are blocked. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, apps from the Office Store are allowed, unless the "Block Apps for Office" policy setting is enabled.

Check content

Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Security Settings >> Trust Center >> Trusted Catalogs "Block the Office Store" is set to "Enabled". Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following hive: HKEY_Users For every users profile hive under HKEY_Users, navigate to the following key: \software\policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\wef\trustedcatalogs If the value “disableomexcatalogs” for every user profile hive is REG_DWORD = 1, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Set the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Security Settings >> Trust Center >> Trusted Catalogs "Block the Office Store" to "Enabled".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
