Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. Examples of mobile code include JavaScript, VBScript, Java applets, ActiveX controls, Flash animations, Shockwave videos, and macros embedded within Microsoft Office documents. Mobile code can be exploited to attack a host. It can be sent as an e-mail attachment or embedded in other file formats not traditionally associated with executable code.
Verify the IDPS blocks any prohibited mobile code at the enclave boundary when it is detected. If the IDPS does not block any prohibited mobile code at the enclave boundary when it is detected, this is a finding.
Configure the IDPS to block any prohibited mobile code at the enclave boundary when it is detected.

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
