Vulnerability discussion

Both SharePoint and Office365 configurations are shared in one setting. Disabling this setting removes the user’s ability to use both SharePoint and Office365 cloud features and functions. If the user is allowed to store files on public cloud services, there is a risk of data compromise.

Check content

Verify the following registry configuration: Note: The Key Name "cSharePoint" is not created by default in the Acrobat Pro XI install and must be created. Using the Registry Editor, navigate to the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint Value Name: bDisableSharePointFeatures Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 If the value for bDisableSharePointFeatures is not set to “1” and Type is not configured to REG_DWORD or does not exist, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the following registry value: Note: The Key Name "cSharePoint" is not created by default in the Acrobat Pro XI install and must be created. Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint Value Name: bDisableSharePointFeatures Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1

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.
