InfoPath email forms in Outlook must be disallowed.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Attackers can send users InfoPath email 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 2013 uses the InfoPath email forms feature to render forms in Outlook and allows users to fill them out in place.
