## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added new security policies for macOS 15, including controls for Apple
Intelligence features such as external intelligence extensions, writing
tools, mail summarization, and notes summarization.
* Introduced a policy to ensure sleep and display sleep are enabled on
Apple Silicon devices.
* **Improvements**
* Enhanced and clarified descriptions for several existing macOS CIS
policies, including Bluetooth Sharing, Siri, NFS Server, password
policies, and filename extension visibility.
* Updated policy queries and resolutions to align with the latest CIS
Benchmark version 1.1.0 and current macOS settings.
* Standardized resolution instructions and improved contributor
attribution across policies.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Corrected and clarified policy names and descriptions, such as
renaming Siri policy to ensure it is disabled and focusing on
world-writable folders instead of files.
* **Removals**
* Removed the policy requiring auto-update to be enabled for macOS 15.

This is fixing a misinterpretation of the [CIS
document](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bq6GSn_wRMp2JKbYsRt51V5BXV1gizDp/view?usp=drive_link)
for Macos 15/
In the doc search for: "show full Website".
The Audit bash script is:
```
% /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType |
/usr/bin/grep ShowFullURLInSmartSearchField | /usr/bin/tr -d ' '
Result on my Mac:
ShowFullURLInSmartSearchField = 1;
```
This should be interpreted as 'Any user who has this setting is ok'. Not
looking for an empty user.
We have 48 other occurrences that we will discuss outside the scope of
this issue.
QA:
Applying the profile for my main user worked.
Adding a test user
The configuration was applied to it without the need to redeploy the
profile.
--> Hence, we are good with the way CIS recommends auditing.
checking with a query finds both accounts with the proper settign:

PR for https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/24647
Adds:
- 2.6.3.3: Ensure Improve Assistive Voice Features Is Disabled
- 5.11: Ensure Logging Is Enabled for Sudo (Automated)
2.6.3.1, 2.6.3.2, 2.6.3.4 were previously added.
2.7.2. is a `Manual` check, which is not supported here.

All edited YAML files were ran through a YAML syntax check before before
committed.
**macOS-13**
- UPDATED: "3.5 - Ensure Access to Audit Records Is Controlled"
Description and Resolution. Query did not change.
- ADDED: "5.10 - Ensure XProtect Is Running and Updated" Checking for
updated is actually handled via a different query.
**macOS-14**
- UPDATED: "3.5 - Ensure Access to Audit Records Is Controlled"
Description and Resolution. Query did not change.
- ADDED: "5.10 - Ensure XProtect Is Running and Updated" Checking for
updated is actually handled via a different query.
**macOS-15**
Initial version duplicated from macOS-14 queries, then the following
changes were applied:
- REMOVED: "3.6 - Ensure Firewall Logging Is Enabled and Configured"
The following controls were not added, further research on how to check
them with osquery is required:
- 2.6.3.1 - 2.6.3.5 and 2.7.2: I am not sure how we can accomplish this.
- "5.11 - Ensure Logging Is Enabled For Sudo" I believe this one can be
accomplished through the file_lines table

This PR adds support for CIS Controls for macOS 14 - Sonoma.
The CIS Control changes from macOS 13 to 14 was minimal:
- Removed 5.9

Found while working on #12696.
This was caught be a recent check added by @mostlikelee to `fleetctl
apply` (#13294).
Sample error:
```sh
$ fleetctl apply --context loadtest -f ee/cis/win-10/cis-policy-queries.yml
Error: applying policies: policy names must be globally unique. Please correct policy "CIS - Ensure 'Windows Firewall: Public: Firewall state' is set to 'On (recommended)'\n" and try again.
```
#11939
- This PR fixes typos in three CIS Windows queries (the queries were
failing with `invalid SQL syntax`).
- Also adds tooling to perform similar testing that we ran for macOS
(using `fleetd_tables` as an extension).
#10292, #12554
When scanning tens of thousands of files for permissions, using the
`find` command exposed as a fleetd table is more performant than trying
to use the `file` table. This change caused the watchdog to *stop*
killing osquery because of exceeding memory or CPU limit.

#10292
The query was processing *every* file under `/Applications/`, which
makes it super expensive both in CPU usage and Memory footprint. This
query was the main culprit of triggering worker process kills by the
watchdog.
On some runs it triggered CPU usage alerts:
```
7716:W0623 15:38:05.402959 221732864 watcher.cpp:415] osqueryd worker (72976) stopping:
Maximum sustainable CPU utilization limit 1200ms exceeded for 12 seconds
```
And on other runs it triggered memory usage alerts:
```
4431 W0626 07:28:50.868021 147312640 watcher.cpp:424] osqueryd worker (21453) stopping:
Memory limits exceeded: 214020096 bytes (limit is 200MB)
```
For the above logs I used a custom osqueryd branch to be able to print
more information: https://github.com/osquery/osquery/pull/8070
The metrics for the old query were CPU usage: ~4521 ms
```
435:level=warn ts=2023-06-26T09:58:29.665712Z query=fleet_policy_query_1233 queryTime=4521 memory=12226560 msg="distributed query performance is excessive" hostID=308 platform=darwin
```
With the new query, CPU usage: ~210 ms.
```
23893:level=debug ts=2023-06-26T18:06:08.242456Z query=fleet_policy_query_1233 queryTime=210 msg=stats memory=0 hostID=308 platform=darwin
```
Basically a ~20x improvement.

@xpkoala this PR will require testing of all modified items.
Preferably, we should perform the tests before merging to master. Can we
use the dev branch for that? -- Items were tested locally.
