In addition, malicious code can be used to compromise an ActiveX control and attack a computer. To indicate the safety of an ActiveX control, developers can denote them as Safe For Initialization (SFI). SFI indicates a control is safe to open and run, and it is not capable of causing a problem for any computer, regardless of whether it has persisted data values or not. If a control is not marked SFI, it is possible the control could adversely affect a computer—or it could mean the developers did not test the control in all situations and are not sure whether it might be compromised in the future. By default, if a control is marked SFI, the application loads the control in safe mode and uses persisted values (if any). If the control is not marked SFI, the application loads the control in unsafe mode with persisted values (if any), or uses the default (first-time initialization) settings. In both situations, the Message Bar informs users the controls have been disabled and prompts them to respond.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls></description> <reference> <dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:title> <dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher> <dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type> <dc:subject>Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:subject> <dc:identifier>2480</dc:identifier> </reference> <ident system="http://iase.disa.mil/cci">CCI-002460</ident> <fixtext fixref="F-45653r1_fix">Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2013 -> Security Settings "ActiveX Control Initialization" to "Disabled".</fixtext> <fix id="F-45653r1_fix" /> <check system="C-47056r5_chk"> <check-content-ref name="M" href="DPMS_XCCDF_Benchmark_Microsoft Office System 2013.xml" /> <check-content>Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Security Settings "ActiveX Control Initialization" is set to "Disabled".

The XML expansion pack can also contain information about how to set up other files, such as how to install and register a COM object required by the XML expansion pack.

ActiveX controls can access the local file system and change the registry settings of the operating system. If a malicious user repurposes an ActiveX control to take over a user's computer, the effect could be significant. To help improve security, ActiveX developers can mark controls as Safe For Initialization (SFI), which means that the developer states that the controls are safe to open and run and not capable of causing harm to any computers. If a control is not marked SFI, the control could adversely affect a computer--or it could mean the developers did not test the control in all situations and are not sure whether their control might be compromised at some future date. SFI controls run in safe mode, which limits their access to the computer. For example, a worksheet control can both read and write files when it is in unsafe mode, but perhaps only read from files when it is in safe mode. This functionality allows the control to be used in very powerful ways when safety is not important, but the control would still be safe for use in a Web page. If a control is not marked as SFI, it is marked Unsafe For Initialization (UFI), which means that it is capable of affecting a user's computer. If UFI ActiveX controls are loaded, they are always loaded in unsafe mode.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls></description> <reference> <dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:title> <dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher> <dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type> <dc:subject>Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:subject> <dc:identifier>2480</dc:identifier> </reference> <ident system="http://iase.disa.mil/cci">CCI-001662</ident> <fixtext fixref="F-45654r1_fix">Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2013 -> Security Settings "Load Controls in Forms3" to "Disabled".</fixtext> <fix id="F-45654r1_fix" /> <check system="C-47057r4_chk"> <check-content-ref name="M" href="DPMS_XCCDF_Benchmark_Microsoft Office System 2013.xml" /> <check-content>Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Security Settings "Load Controls in Forms3" is set to "Disabled".

The actual logging capability will be enabled, but this policy allows that data to be uploaded to a remote location which, if enabled, could pass information about the internal network and configuration to that remote site.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls></description> <reference> <dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:title> <dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher> <dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type> <dc:subject>Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:subject> <dc:identifier>2480</dc:identifier> </reference> <ident system="http://iase.disa.mil/cci">CCI-000381</ident> <fixtext fixref="F-46144r2_fix">Set the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Telemetry Dashboard >> "Turn on data uploading for Office Telemetry Agent" to "Disabled". </fixtext> <fix id="F-46144r2_fix" /> <check system="C-47524r5_chk"> <check-content-ref name="M" href="DPMS_XCCDF_Benchmark_Microsoft Office System 2013.xml" /> <check-content>Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Telemetry Dashboard >> "Turn on data uploading for Office Telemetry Agent" is set to "Disabled".

When an Office document or solution is loaded, used, closed, or raises an error in certain Office 2013 applications, the Office Telemetry application adds a record about the event to a local data store. Each record includes a description of the problem and a link to more information. Inventory and usage data is also tracked. This policy setting allows the data collection features in Office that are used by the Office Telemetry Dashboard and Office Telemetry Log to be turned on. If this policy setting is enabled, Office Telemetry Agent and Office applications will collect telemetry data, which includes Office application usage, most recently used Office documents (including file names) and solutions usage, compatibility issues, and critical errors that occur on the local computers. Office Telemetry Dashboard can be used to view this data remotely, and users can use Office Telemetry Log to view this data on their local computers. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, the Office Telemetry Agent and Office applications do not generate or collect telemetry data.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>System Administrator</Responsibility><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls></description> <reference> <dc:title>DPMS Target Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:title> <dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher> <dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type> <dc:subject>Microsoft Office System 2013</dc:subject> <dc:identifier>2480</dc:identifier> </reference> <ident system="http://iase.disa.mil/cci">CCI-000381</ident> <fixtext fixref="F-46146r2_fix">Set the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Telemetry Dashboard >> "Turn on telemetry data collection" to "Enabled".</fixtext> <fix id="F-46146r2_fix" /> <check system="C-47526r5_chk"> <check-content-ref name="M" href="DPMS_XCCDF_Benchmark_Microsoft Office System 2013.xml" /> <check-content>Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Telemetry Dashboard >> "Turn on telemetry data collection" is set to "Enabled".
