Vulnerability discussion

InfoPath can function in online mode or offline mode. It can also cache queries for use in offline mode. If offline mode is used and cached queries are enabled, sensitive information contained in the cache could be at risk. By default, InfoPath is in online mode, but offline mode is available to users. Users can also cache queries for use in offline mode.

Check content

Verify the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft InfoPath 2013 -> InfoPath Options -> Advanced -> Offline "Offline Mode status" is set to "Enabled (Enabled, InfoPath not in Offline Mode)". Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\InfoPath\editor\offline Criteria: If the value CachedModeStatus is REG_DWORD = 2, this is not a finding.

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.
