metadata for password protected files' for Microsoft Office 2013 (at least) on Windows hosts.
The setting allows you to control how ActiveX controls in UserForms should be initialized based upon
whether they are Safe For Initialization (SFI) or Unsafefor Initialization (UFI).
ActiveX controls are Component Object Model (COM) objects and have unrestricted access to users
computers. ActiveX controls can access the local file system and change the registry settings of the
operating system. If a malicious user repurposes an ActiveX control to take over a users computer,
the effect could be significant. To help improve security, ActiveX developers can mark controls as
Safe For Initialization (SFI), which means that the developer states that the controls are safe to
open and run and not capable of causing harm to any computers. If a control is not marked SFI, the
control could adversely affect a computer, or its possible the developers did not test the control
in all situations and are not sure whether their control might be compromised at some future date.
SFI controls run in safe mode, which limits their access to the computer.
The functionality allows the control to be used in very powerful ways when safety was not important,
but the control would still be safe for use in a Web page. If a control is not marked as SFI, it is
marked Unsafe For Initialization (UFI), which means that it is capable of affecting a users computer.
If UFI ActiveX controls are loaded, they are always loaded in unsafe mode.");
