Ensure 'Prevent Excel from running XLM macros' is set to 'Enabled'

높음레벨 1자동office

설명

This policy setting will prevent Excel from running Excel 4.0 (XLM) macros. XLM macros were first added to Excel in 1992 and were disabled in Excel (Build 16.0.14427.10000) by Microsoft in 2021. The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled. Rationale: XLM is data macro format from the early nineties that was not built with security in mind. Macros can be easily exploited and are a favorite hiding place of malicious code. User setting: the audit checks HKEY_USERS\<SID>\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\excel\security:xl4macrooff (REG_DWORD) in every loaded user hive (S-1-5-21-*) and is compliant when each holds 1. It prints 'no-user-hive-loaded' (FAIL) when no user profile is loaded, so scan while users are logged on.
