From Microsoft InfoPath 2013 STIG
Part of DTOO165 - Beaconing UI /forms opened Activex
InfoPath makes it possible to host InfoPath forms in other applications as ActiveX controls. Such controls are known as InfoPath form controls. A malicious user could insert a web beacon into one of these controls which could be used to contact an external server when the user opens the form. Information could be gathered by the form, or information entered by users could be sent to an external server and expose the internal systems to additional attacks. By default, InfoPath form controls warn users about potential web beaconing threats.
Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft InfoPath 2013 -> Security -> "Beaconing UI for forms opened in InfoPath Filler ActiveX" to "Enabled (Always show beaconing UI)".
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
.
