Does Microsoft forms have any input/data validation, filtering, or some security measure to prevent people from inputting malicious links or  injections?

I'm new to Microsoft forms and I haven't seen anything in regards to this. Thank you all in advance.

    Hi,

    You can Click Add Question to add a new question to the form. Choose from Choice, Text, Rating, or Datequestions. 

    For all questions, you can Click More settings for question  , and then select Restrictions. For example, you can choose to restrict the numbers by selecting from the various options such as Greater than, Less than, Between, and many others. 

    If you want to prevent someone send injections for you, you can open force sign in so that you will know who send improper content to you.

    Click Here for details and try to create one by yourself.

    Thanks for the response. I saw those options but I was hoping that there was a filter for data/text, not just numbers. As for forcing sign-ins, people can get their accounts hijacked and someone malicious can always create "fake" accounts.

    I appreciate you for sending this link but the link to the updated O365 form seems to be broken. Either way, it doesn't really full answer my question (Assuming I didn't miss something). Is there a way to filter/validate the information that people put inside Microsoft forms or is there at least some filtering done by Microsoft in the backend? 

    Call me paranoid but I want to know how secure it is in the backend of things.
