Title

InfoPath e-mail forms in Outlook must be disallowed. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Attackers can send users InfoPath e-mail forms in an attempt to gain access to confidential information. Depending on the level of trust of the forms, it might also be possible to gain access to other data automatically. By default, Outlook 2010 uses the InfoPath e-mail forms feature to render forms in Outlook and allows users to fill them out in place.
