Dante Catalfamo 90e1dc311b Update macOS 15 to CIS Benchmark 2.0.0 (#43909)
**Related issue:** Resolves #35171


# macOS 15 CIS benchmark v1.1.0 → v2.0.0 change set

## Policy changes

| CIS ID | Policy name (new) | Change type | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | CIS - Ensure Apple-provided Software Updates Are Installed
(Fleetd Required) | Modified | Renamed from "Ensure All Apple-provided
Software Is Current"; resolution expanded with terminal `softwareupdate
-i -a` method; `cis_id` added. Query unchanged (still uses fleetd's
`software_update` table). |
| 1.6 | CIS - Ensure Software Update Deferment Is Less Than or Equal to
30 Days (MDM Required) | Modified | Added Apple-deprecation note to
description; `cis_id` added. Query unchanged. |
| 1.7 | CIS - Ensure XProtect Is Running and Updated | Removed | Deleted
— v2.0.0 removed 1.7 from the numbered benchmark and moved it to
Supplemental section 7.4. Per authoring outline, Fleet does not track
section 7+ recommendations. |
| 2.1.1.1 | CIS - Ensure iCloud Passwords & Keychain is enabled/disabled
(MDM Required) | Modified | Renamed from "iCloud Keychain" to match
v2.0.0's "Audit iCloud Passwords & Keychain"; Description, Rationale,
and Impact Statement updated from the new PDF; `cis_id` added to both
enable/disable variants. Query unchanged (`allowCloudKeychainSync` key
is the same). |
| 2.3.1.1 | CIS - Ensure AirDrop Is Disabled (MDM Required) | Modified |
Added note to resolution stating AirDrop can only be toggled via
configuration profile; `cis_id` added. Query unchanged. |
| 2.3.3.4 | CIS - Ensure Remote Login Is Disabled | Modified |
Description rewritten to match v2.0.0 text; terminal remediation
(`systemsetup -setremotelogin off`) added to resolution; `cis_id` added.
Query unchanged (still checks `disabled.plist`). |
| 2.6.3.1, 2.6.3.2, 2.6.3.3, 2.6.3.4 | CIS - Ensure Sending Diagnostic
and Usage Data to Apple Is Disabled (MDM Required) | Modified | **Query
change**: Siri Data Sharing Opt-In Status check moved from
`com.apple.applicationaccess` → `com.apple.assistant.support` domain to
track v2.0.0's new PayloadType; `cis_id` added (combined). |
| 2.4.1 | CIS - Ensure Show Wi-Fi status in Menu Bar Is Enabled (MDM
Required) | Removed | Deleted — recommendation removed in v2.0.0. |
| 2.4.2 | CIS - Ensure Show Bluetooth Status in Menu Bar Is Enabled (MDM
Required) | Removed | Deleted — recommendation removed in v2.0.0
(replaced by Manual 2.4.1 "Audit Menu Bar and Control Center Icons"). |
| 6.1.1 | CIS - Ensure Show All Filename Extensions Setting is Enabled |
Removed | Deleted — recommendation downgraded to Manual in v2.0.0. |

Policy count: 113 → 109.

## Test artifacts added

| Target CIS ID | File | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3.3.4 | `ee/cis/macos-15/test/scripts/CIS_2.3.3.4_pass.sh` | pass
script | `systemsetup -setremotelogin off` |
| 2.3.3.4 | `ee/cis/macos-15/test/scripts/CIS_2.3.3.4_fail.sh` | fail
script | `systemsetup -setremotelogin on` |
| 1.6 | `ee/cis/macos-15/test/profiles/1.6.mobileconfig` | MDM profile |
Sets `enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay=30`,
`forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates=true` |
| 2.3.1.1 | `ee/cis/macos-15/test/profiles/2.3.1.1.mobileconfig` | MDM
profile | Sets `allowAirDrop=false` |
| 2.6.3.2 | `ee/cis/macos-15/test/profiles/2.6.3.2.mobileconfig` | MDM
profile | Four payloads covering the combined Fleet query: Siri opt-in
(new v2.0.0 domain), AutoSubmit, allowDiagnosticSubmission,
AXSAudioDonationSiriImprovementEnabled |

No test added for 1.1 — query depends on live OS update state (fleetd
`software_update` table) and cannot be toggled by a script or profile.

No test added for 2.1.1.1 — it is an org-decision Audit recommendation
(Fleet ships both enable and disable variants); one of the two policies
fails by construction regardless of system state.

## Documentation updates

| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `ee/cis/macos-15/README.md` | Benchmark version bumped v1.1.0 →
v2.0.0. Limitations list renumbered to v2.0.0 section numbers; added
2.4.1 (new "Audit Menu Bar and Control Center Icons") and 6.1.1 (now
Manual "Audit Show All Filename Extensions"). Org-decision entry renamed
from "Audit iCloud Keychain" to "Audit iCloud Passwords & Keychain" to
match v2.0.0 terminology. |
