Added the OSquery TA. So now unit testing should pass if the searches are accurate. This PR is now targeting 5.26

type: Anomaly
description: The following analytic detects the creation of a new local user account on a MacOS system. It leverages osquery logs to identify this activity. Monitoring the creation of local accounts is crucial for a SOC as it can indicate unauthorized access or lateral movement within the network. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow an attacker to establish persistence, escalate privileges, or gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data.
data_source:
- osquery
