Details

InfoPath forms running with the restricted security level, can only access data stored on the forms. However, a malicious user could still send an e-mail form running with the restricted security level, in an attempt to access sensitive information provided by users.

By default InfoPath e-mail forms running with the restricted security level can be opened.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft InfoPath 2010 -> InfoPath e-mail forms ‘Disable e-mail forms running in restricted security level’ to ‘Enabled’.
