Rule Text

Dragging of content from different domains across windows must be disallowed (Internet zone).

Description

Discussion Text

This policy setting allows you to set options for dragging content from one domain to a different domain when the source and destination are in different windows. If you enable this policy setting, users can drag content from one domain to a different domain when the source and destination are in different windows. Users cannot change this setting. If you disable this policy setting, users cannot drag content from one domain to a different domain when both the source and destination are in different windows. Users cannot change this setting. If you do not configure this policy setting, users cannot drag content from one domain to a different domain when the source and destination are in different windows. Users can change this setting in the Internet Options dialog.

Assessment Script Powered by AISyntax-verified

A standalone PowerShell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked as valid PowerShell. Not executed here — running it for real needs the actual ms_ie10 target this check assesses.

# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.fso.ie:def:399
$regPath = "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3\2709"
if (!(Test-Path $regPath)) { $regValue = "" } else { $regValue = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $regPath).Value }
if ($regValue -eq "3") { Write-Output "FAIL"; Exit 1 } else { Write-Output "PASS"; Exit 0 }

Remediation

Set the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer-> Internet Control Panel-> Security Page-> Internet Zone "Enable dragging of content from different domains across windows" to "Enabled", and select "Disabled".
