Title

Disabling email forms running in Restricted Security Level must be configured. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

InfoPath forms running with the restricted security level, can only access data stored on the forms. However, a malicious user could still send an e-mail form running with the restricted security level, in an attempt to access sensitive information provided by users. By default InfoPath e-mail forms running with the restricted security level can be opened.
