Internet calendar integration in Outlook must be disabled.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>This policy setting allows the user to determine whether or not to include Internet Calendar integration in Outlook. The Internet Calendar feature in Outlook enables users to publish calendars online (using the webcal:// protocol) and subscribe to calendars that others have published. When users subscribe to an internet calendar, Outlook queries the calendar at regular intervals and downloads any changes as they are posted. If this policy setting is enabled, all internet calendar functionality in Outlook is disabled. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, Outlook allows users to subscribe to trusted and untrusted internet calendars. The webcal protocol also has a history of loading web sites vulnerable to cross site scripting.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
