Vulnerability discussion

InfoPath email forms can be designed by an external attacker and sent over the Internet as part of a phishing attempt. Users might fill out such forms and provide sensitive information to the attacker.By default, forms that originate from the Internet can be opened, although those forms cannot access content stored in a different domain.

Check content

The policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft InfoPath 2013 -> InfoPath e-mail forms "Disable e-mail forms from the Internet security zone" must be set to "Enabled". Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\InfoPath\security Criteria: If the value EnableInternetEMailForms is REG_DWORD = 0, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft InfoPath 2013 -> InfoPath e-mail forms "Disable e-mail forms from the Internet security zone" 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.
