A form that is digitally signed must be displayed with a warning.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>This setting controls whether or not the user sees a dialog box when opening Microsoft InfoPath forms containing digitally signed content. By default, InfoPath shows the user a warning message when the form contains a digital signature. By being aware of a digitally signed form, the user will be able to check the validity of the signature. Otherwise, the forms may have been maliciously modified and will be invalidated.</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>
